Abstract. Like a Neotectonic stage, a Latest geodynamic stage has no single boundary in Earth's evolution. Crust-forming spreading processes, which continue to the present, were initiated approximately 280 million years ago. Spreading occurred in the Earth's modern oceans at various times. A specific direction of processes has emerged in the geological evolution of Asia, due to the significant north-south shift of the Siberian paleocontinent between 200 and 150 million years ago and the separation of the Indian paleocontinent from Gondwana between 130 and 100 million years ago, followed by a south-north shift and collision with Asia between 66 and 32 million years ago. The directional evolution of Asia began in the Late Cretaceous, approximately 90 million years ago. This starting point is marked by a change from frequent mid-Cretaceous shoshonitic and trachybasaltic volcanic eruptions in Central Mongolia to rare alkaline basaltic ones over long (20-year) intervals serves. The frequency of volcanic pulses here consistently increases over time and falls within quasi-periods of 10, 7.5, and 2.5 million years. In the Quaternary, volcanism develops to a quasi-periodicity of 0.3–0.7 million years. In the context of Earth's evolution, the onset of the most recent geodynamic stage in Asia is accompanied by: 1) the end of the Jalal superchron ca. 83 Ma, 2) the disruption of the 2.4 Ma great eccentricity cycles in the Earth's orbital rotation 87–85 Ma, 3) the eruption of the highest-temperature (ultra-Mg) komatiite magmas of Gorgona Island ca. 90 Ma, 4) the restriction of the distribution of alkaline complexes with carbonatites in Northern Asia by the mid-Cretaceous with an increasing role of carbonatites in India during the post-Middle Cretaceous evolution of the Earth, and 5) a change in the main trends of marine 87Sr/86Sr records ca. 90 Ma. The evolution of the Earth to date has led to the formation of the deepest Indian Ocean geoid anomaly in spatial combination with the low Eurasian one. The former is explained by the late Phanerozoic disruption of the lower and upper mantle boundary by ascending plumes, while the latter is clearly associated in Central Asia with the late Phanerozoic formation of the Sayan-Mongolian low-velocity domain at the upper mantle depths of 50–200 km.
