Abstract

Theoretical aspects of the formation of the Earth's structure and the development of internal convective processes, which govern the movement of continents and the origin of earthquake centers are addressed. Means of deriving quantitative laws characterizing processes within the terrestrial sphere are proposed. Possibilities of predicting earthquakes and rational consideration of seismic effects during construction in seismically active regions are demonstrated. An outcome may be a unique program that unites the entire chain of events — from earthquake development to specific problems of earthquake-resistant construction.
