摘要
The crisis in the present-day geotectonics consists in that leading specialists do not recognize the rotation of the Earth. The absolute majority of tectonists base their constructions on the model of an unmovable Earth. The laws of geodynamics differ essentially from the models of the unmovable or rotating Earth. As the Earth does rotate, it is to be hoped that sooner or later the researchers will be made to use a model of the rotating Earth. But the adoption of a new model is not a simple matter. It is necessary to overcome some traditions so that many tectonical regularities can be established anew on “a clean sheet”.
