Role Of The Coriolis Forces In The Formation Of Asymmetric Structures In The Eastern And Western Pacific and Its Continental Framing

摘要

The structural asymmetry of the eastern and western Pacific and its continental framing is one of the planetary peculiarities in the Earth's deep tectonics and its geomorphological reflection at the surface. Let us mention the most prominent manifestations of this phenomenon, for example, the presence of island arcs in the western part of the ocean and their absence in its eastern part. It should be noted that arcuate fissures appear under extension . In the American continent, the Cordilleras and Andes mountain systems are narrower as compared with the Australian-Asiatic coastal mountain belts. The West Pacific areas demonstrate an increasing tendency for subsidence to form marginal seas and a "graben belt" .
