Based on thermodynamic analysis of the geological structure, PT-conditions on the earth's surface, and the powers that cause
tectonic drift of continental and oceanic plates, presented physical and chemical regularity of evolution geospheres. These mainly related
to the space powers of the Earth rotation around its axis, by gravity powers of plates by the Earth, Sun and Moon, as well as between neighbors
plates. In equatorial latitudes the rotational power is maximal and shift plates toward the equator. The most stable continent is Africa, which is
associated with the maximum gravity to the Sun at perihelion elliptical orbit of the Earth. So, the drift of plates on the Earth's surface comes
from Africa to the Pacific Ocean. Plate tectonics is primarily dependent on the plasticity of their base, which were magmatic in Archean and
since Phanerozoic cooled with the formation plastic talc-serpentine soles. Due to which activated mobilism of plate. To the borders confined
earthquake plates, which indicate the latter. Moving sedimentation zone during evolution transformed into folding system, which is much
smaller in area, which is also indicate of plate tectonics. Oceanic plates have a small power, but significant temperature graditent, because
in them since Mesozoic from ultramafic mantle melted basalt magma, which contributes to oceanic plates drift on the base of the magma
and the continental plates on the talc-serpentine soles from the mid-ocean rifts. So open up the Atlantic and Indian oceans, and closes the
Pacific. On Mars, we have been active in the Precambrian moving plates like Earth, which are mainly located in the equatorial zone, including
the plate in the South pole.
With plate tectonics associated with many problems of the Earth's crust, mantles, hydrospheres, volcanism, earthquakes, atmospheres, biosphere
and ecology.
Key words: tectonics of the continental and oceanic plates, thermodynamics, the crust, the mantle, the evolution of geosphere, the powers of mobilism, elliptical orbit of the Earth, gravity, sole plates, earthquakes, continental drift, fold system, mid-ocean rifts.
