The methods of calculation of gravity potential V and potential energy E for ellipsoidal planet for existing one-dimensional mass distribution were not worked out. That’s why now the derivation of formulas for simultaneous calculation of density mass’s distribution and potential and energy for the ellipsoidal body is actual.

The method of the research relates to the theoretical tectonophysics. We study the question of the sources of energy of tectonic processes in the crust and lithosphere. They is divided into internal and external. Internal sources include the processes associated with the inversion density created during sedimentation in horizontally stratified array, as well as resulting from thermal heating due to the approach to the base of the lithosphere of the anomalous mantle.
