Scientific paper

Quantitative and spatial relations between planetary and local fracturing are determined. The study of the global systematic fracturing that is evident in the planetary lithosphere and in the earth's crust shows four series of lineaments which are coupled into two genetic systems of dia- and ortho-structures. The boundary value, beyond which systems of planetary fractures become most sharply defined in diagrams is determined. A comparison of the planetary fracturing in the strata of different age in the Russian, Siberian, and other platforms as well as the Caucasus's folded area shows that the orientation of the systematic fracturing is independent of the sediment age. A map of the earth's major outcropping faults is included. Results indicate that the formation of the global grid systems may be attributed to planetary causes.
