Abstract

An understanding of the dynamic Earth is crucial from the point of view of the physical inevitability and historical reality of the problem of the origin of life. Why has life occurred then evolved? How, when, and where? In Chapter 1, recent views of the dynamic Earth are outlined historically, beginning with the epoch-making proposal of continental drift theory. After the notion of immovable continents had been dispelled in the latter half of the twentieth century, the concept of the dynamic Earth rapidly emerged.

Wegener’s original words: daß die Wahrheit nur durch Zusammenfassung aller dieser Anzeichen ermittelt werden kann.

The case of the Pacific Ocean is an exception. The ridge is located at the east coast of the ocean and partly continues to the San Andreas Fault of California, USA.
