Substantiation of the pulsating expanding Earth concept by means of astronomic, mineragenic, and paleontological data

Abstract
The paper deals with controversial issues in geology that cannot be satisfactorily explained using the theory of lithospheric plates and can be resolved using alternative hypothesis of the expanding and pulsating Earth. Supposed periods of increase and decrease in the size of the Earth are associated with cosmic factors, including a change in the position of the solar system relative to the center of the galaxy. Generalized results of a statistical analysis of the association of mineral deposits to different stratigraphic intervals are given as a proof of the validity of the concept concerning the rhythmic Earth pulsation, caused by the solar system movement along the galactic orbit. Paleontological data can evidence the gradual Earth expansion; they may also indicate fluctuations in some physical parameters of the Earth in the geological past. It is inferred that a consistent interpretation of a large group of heterogeneous facts is possible only within the framework of a new theory of the Earth structure and evolution, in which not only certain provisions of plate tectonics will find a place, but also other previously proposed views on the Earth evolution.
