Abstract

Modern natural scientists are concerned with the nature and mechanisms of global evolution. The unique properties of water underlie this problem. Water predetermined the mechanisms of the global evolution of geological and biological systems. The source of this phenomenon should be sought in the mechanisms of interaction between water and rocks.
