Abstract

The article describes the main aspects related to the plate tectonics from their unidirectional, differential movement under the longitudinal and latitudinal vectors of asthenospheric current. There is presented the model of different subduction, spreading and transform fault zones. During the current research, there was examined the relationship between the direction of asthenospheric current related to the plunging ocean plate and specific features of the Pacific and Andean subduction zones. There was carried out the analysis of average paleomagnetic pole movement. As a result of this analysis, there was made a conclusion about the high velocity movement of upper mantle, conform to the experimental data of the last years. On the basis of the suggested model, taking into account the present paleomagnetic and paleoclimatic researches, there was held the reconstruction of the unidirectional plate movement during the Phanerozoic time.
