Изложена альтернативная (тектонике плит) геодинамическая концепция
Surge tectonics (пульсационная тектоника) предполагающая движущей
силой тектонических процессов три основные составляющие: подвижную
магму, сокращение Земли вследствие охлаждения и ротационные силы,
возникающие при вращении планеты. Предпринята попытка дать полное и
непротиворечивое объяснение всем основным геологическим фактам,
являющихся существенными в геотектонике, на основе консолидирования
концепций контракции, расширения Земли и ротационной геодинамики в
увязке с законами классической механики.
