EARTH’S ROTATION AND FEATURES OF LATITUDINAL GRADIENTS OF VOLCANIC AND SEISMIC ACTIVITY
Latitudinal gradients of Earth’s endogenous activity were proved to determine by centrifugal force related to rotation of the Earth around its own axis and be geographical latitude function. Areas of high activity and quiet zones were detected against a backdrop of endogenous activity decreasing from the equator to poles. The northern hemisphere is characterized by higher volcanic and seismic activity then the southern one. In latitudinal gradients of seismic activity is revealed a latitudinal gradient with which localization of seismic activity maximum in 35°-45° N zone is connected.
