Fluidosphere and Endodrainage of the Earth: Some Geophysical and Biophysical Consequences

t—Intraterrestrial heat, which is responsible for the emergence of the fluidosphere and is a fundamental element of the Earth’s structure covering the volume from the outer boundary of the inner core to the base of the Earth’s crust, is considered. The fluidosphere is experiencing drainage processes that develop throughout the entire history of the Earth, and the most intense transport of melts to the surface was manifested during 20 tectono-magmatic epochs. This article presents the characteristics of the global endodrainage system—the main planetary structure that ensures the discharge of emerging intra-terrestrial stresses, distribution in space, and transport to the outer parts of deep massive fluid bodies (which, in particular, include plumes and superplumes recorded in the body of the Earth). Features of the preparation of strong crustal earthquakes as a result of intense thermal processes are considered; they develop in the asthenolayer, underlying the Earth’s crust, where abyssal and metamorphic melts and gases accumulate. Using specific earthquakes as examples, the preseismic deformation development is described and the regime of formation and expansion over the future earthquake epicenter, a short-lived extension structure, is analyzed. It is stated that intraterrestrial heat is the instigator of all the processes of matter evolution on the Earth; the same position is extended to the multiple forms of biological substances (living cells) exposed to the intraterrestrial thermal radiation. A hypothesis is proposed for the acquisition of dark skin by hominines and human populations that migrated to Africa 7–8 million years ago as a consequence of the influence of life-long thermal radiation on all living generations of the African superplume.

Abstract

t—Intraterrestrial heat, which is responsible for the emergence of the fluidosphere and is a fundamental element of the Earth’s structure covering the volume from the outer boundary of the inner core to the base of the Earth’s crust, is considered. The fluidosphere is experiencing drainage processes that develop throughout the entire history of the Earth, and the most intense transport of melts to the surface was manifested during 20 tectono-magmatic epochs. This article presents the characteristics of the global endodrainage system—the main planetary structure that ensures the discharge of emerging intra-terrestrial stresses, distribution in space, and transport to the outer parts of deep massive fluid bodies (which, in particular, include plumes and superplumes recorded in the body of the Earth). Features of the preparation of strong crustal earthquakes as a result of intense thermal processes are considered; they develop in the asthenolayer, underlying the Earth’s crust, where abyssal and metamorphic melts and gases accumulate. Using specific earthquakes as examples, the preseismic deformation development is described and the regime of formation and expansion over the future earthquake epicenter, a short-lived extension structure, is analyzed. It is stated that intraterrestrial heat is the instigator of all the processes of matter evolution on the Earth; the same position is extended to the multiple forms of biological substances (living cells) exposed to the intraterrestrial thermal radiation. A hypothesis is proposed for the acquisition of dark skin by hominines and human populations that migrated to Africa 7–8 million years ago as a consequence of the influence of life-long thermal radiation on all living generations of the African superplume.
