Interrelation between neotectonics, differentiation by density and geothermal regime of mantle-crustal blocks at the territory of the USSR

Abstract

Correlation analysis of neotectonic movements rates differentiation according to density and geothermal regime of mantle-crustal blocks suggests the geodynamic processes to be based on thermodynamic ones, the latter induce a complex of associated processes. Tectonic processes rate and character as well as manifestation depend on thermodynamic processes and on the depth of their development, lithosphere's permeability, heat and mass transfer mechanism and thermal characteristics of the matter at depth. Various combinations of the factors control the variety and development of tectonic processes (neotectonic crustal movements included) an different layers.
