Synergetics and (or) plate tectonics

Résumé En

Today geology aspires to be in general agreement with the progress of modern natural science. But it can become a cause of crisis of some geological directions. Last decade many researchers were trying to bring geological postulates in accord with synergetics ideas, first of all principles of plate tectonics. We've elected the plate tectonics only because it, in accordance with current belief, focuses many problems and achievements of modern geology and pretends to be a standard of research success. Here it is demonstrated one of general property of lithosphère dynamic processes -cooperativity and, thus, long-range order, -by the example of canonical structures (folds, lenses, fracture networks). A thermo-gravitational instability effect (Bernard's effect) is a model of these processes. Now it is known some attempts to correlate this phenomenon with plate tectonics foundations. But our researches have shown that fundamental tenets of the plate tectonics (such as independent continental drift, two-cell convection, multi-layer convection etc.) are superfluous from synergetic point of view.
