The driving force and movement of materials in the Earth’s interior
2016
The main connotation of geophysical research is the physics of
the Earth’s interior whose core issue includes the Earth’s
internal structure, the forces and responses for the motion of materials.
Based on the researches of deep exchange process and dynamic source
mechanism of material and energy in the Earth’s interior, we
draw the following conclusions: (1) The layered structure and material
composition of the Earth’s interior lay a solid foundation
for the researches of the material movement, the properties and structures
of the medium, and the deep processes in the Earth’s interior.
(2) The important geoscience events, such as the continental drift,
sea-floor spreading and plate motion indicate that the lithosphere
is flowing on the asthenosphere. The eruption of continental flood
basalt and the upwelling of hot mantle plume reflect the coupled responses
and coexistences of the horizontal and vertical force systems. (3)
The exchange process of material and energy in the Earth’s
interior bring up many products, such as the strong earthquake, the
eruption of volcano, the elevation of Tibet Plateau, metal mineral
resources in the second deep space, and the formation of oil and gas
field. (4) In related to the researches of mechanics properties of
the Earth medium, although the driving source of material movement
in the Earth’s interior become one of the key problems, a series
of involved hypothesis cannot explain many geosciences events very
well. The mantle convection theory acquire some consensus, however
it is still a hypothesis due to the lack of reliable and high precision
measured data. (5) The heat from radioactive decay and the thermodynamic
boundary layer at core-mantle boundary may be the driving source of
the deep processes in the Earth’s interior. Whether the dark
matter and dark material recently proposed by in the studies of astronomical
movement are analogously exist in the Earth’s interior, which
needs to deepen the understanding of the Earth.
