The very important to develop geodynamical models of the Earth’s structure defining corresponding state equations and flow equations for the fragments of mantle with big vis-cosity and inhomogeneous density distribution and nonlinear interaction with other frag-ments of the mantle and the crust. It is substantiated the importance and advisability of transition to generalized models of medium and processes which define the dependence of geophysical and geodynamical processes from thermodynamical parameters of Earth’s crust.
