Аннотация:The study of temporal regularities of seismic and volcanic processes within the Pacifi c Ocean
margin, the Alpine-Himalayan belt and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge showed the existence of two period
ranges: “short”, 60±10 and 120±20 years, and “long” with common period T0≈250±25 and multiple periods 2T0≈450±50, 4Т0≈1000±100 and 8T0≈2000±200 years. The analysis led to the
conclusion that seismic and volcanic processes occurring within the three most powerful tectonic
belts are manifestations of a single wave geodynamic process. The magnitude of geodynamic event
was determined in the usual way – proportional to the logarithm of the dropped elastic energy for
earthquakes and proportional to volume of ejected material for volcanic eruptions.
A unifi ed database of the strongest natural disasters and social events that have occurred
over the past several thousand years was created. The magnitude of catastrophic events in both
cases was determined using logarithmic scale based on socially signifi cant parameters – material
damage and human casualties. Research of temporal patterns of events in this database was conducted
using spectral and spectral correlation analysis of time series. The study showed that for
both sets there are also two groups of periods: “short” 50±10 and 150±20 years, and “long” in the
range of 210÷1650 years. In particular, there are periods multiples of geodynamic T0: 210±20,
500±50 and 1000(850÷1100)±100 years.
As we can see the “structure” of characteristic periods of geodynamic and geosocial processes
has common period T0≈250±50 years.
The parameters that could determine characteristic periods of geodynamic and geosocial
processes, could be the following values. The periods: TE=1 day – Earth’s rotation around its axis,
TM=28 days – Moon’s rotation around the Earth, TJ=11.8 years – Jupiter’s rotation around the
Sun responsible for the characteristic period of solar activity. Characteristic geodynamic parameters:VP=8 km/sec (VS=6 km/sec) – “fast” speed of seismic waves in the Earth’s crust and c0
=10 cm/sec – “slow” speed of rotational waves, R0≈100 km – the size of the Earth’s crust block and
RE=6400 km – the Earth radius. Following min-max periods can be formed of these parameters:
Tmin=TJTMс0/R0≈30-40 years and Tmax=TJTEVS/RE≈1500 years. As we can see, these two min-max
values cover almost the entire possible range of the most characteristic geodynamic and geosocial
periods. Furthermore the “common” period that is characteristic for both processes can be
expressed as the geometric mean of two min-max values: T0= (TminTmax)1/2≈250 years.
Thus, the analysis results showed the existence of common regularities of geodynamic
and geosocial processes that allows to model them with common positions in the framework of
Aristotle-Leibniz-Mach and Cuvier concepts about the unity of the world around us.
