Энергетические оценки вертикальных движений дна Тихого океана и различия в их интенсивности

Аннотация

The authors used the mathematics of the fluctuations theory to show the depths field dispersions distribution to be equivalent to vertically directed tectonic forces. A boundary is drawn following maximum values of dispersions gradient; it divides the Pacific lithosphere into two provinces, differing considerably in vertical movements rate. Topographic field dispersion and geological-geophysical data if considered together clearly indicate the Western Pacific to be a separate tectonic formation, or lithospheric block, which the authors suggest to name Darwin plate. The area between Darwin plate and continental plates of North and South America is a region of active tangential movements; the region is similar tectonically to the Atlantic and is about of the same dimensions.
