Principle of Formation of the Earth’s Crust under Natural Stress Conditions

Аннотация

This article formulates the experimentally substantiated physical principle that the natural stress condition of the Earth’s crust is formed due to the superposition of stress fields, which is caused by the gravitational forces of the Earth and by tectonic and astrophysical forces that are produced by physical processes in space. The natural stress field is represented by the stress tensor regulatory components: \(\sigma _{z}^{{\text{N}}}\) = \( - \gamma H + {{\sigma }_{{zT}}} + {{\sigma }_{{z{\text{AF}}}}}\), \(\sigma _{x}^{{\text{N}}}\) = \( - \lambda \gamma H + {{\sigma }_{{xT}}} + {{\sigma }_{{x{\text{AF}}}}}\), \(\sigma _{y}^{{\text{N}}}\) = \( - \lambda \gamma H + {{\sigma }_{{yT}}} + {{\sigma }_{{y{\text{AF}}}}}\).
