To be able to determine what and where of value is on the planet, it is important to know how it turned out there. Let's consider some possible stages in the formation of the face of the Earth. Take at least such a primitive example for comparison, the same chicken egg. At low temperatures, it freezes and breaks the shell despite its relative thickness, which is greater than the thickness of the earth's crust. Of course, this example should not be taken seriously, since the freezing process does not occur inside the planet, leading to the expansion of the contents. The rupture of the egg shell when the liquid freezes only clearly shows how the integrity of the shell is broken when the contents inside the substance expand.

According to the established concept, a geosyncline is an elongated zone of the earth's crust of intense movement, which manifests itself first in the subsidence and accumulation of a large thickness of sedimentary rocks, and later in an uplift, which is accompanied by the formation of folded mountain structures. During folding, earthquakes and volcanic activity are especially intense.

According to the dialectic of nature, nothing is eternal and permanent. Even F. Engels (1820-1895) argued that there is an eternal circulation of matter in the Universe. According to him, the eternal cycle in which matter moves occurs during such huge periods of time that cannot even be measured by earthly years. In this eternal cycle of matter, many suns and lands arise and die.

Everything that concerns the emergence and development of our common home - the Earth, cannot be ignored by everyone who considers himself erudite and civilized. And if during the training everything was quite clear - teachers and teachers (thanks to them), explained well, then with further in-depth - not everything is so smooth. It turns out that some "capital truths" contradict not only the logical state of affairs and common sense, but also indisputable facts. Not all, fortunately, this applies to objects. But geology, with its tangential sciences, is, unfortunately, hooked. Perhaps that is why there are so many specific terms that are beyond the control of ordinary mortals, to make it easier to retouch what experts are unable to explain.
