Geologic form of matter motion: the basis of life on Earth *

K.M. Konstantinov

Irkutsk National Research Technical University, Irkutsk, Russia

Abstract. According to the doctrine of dialectics the geological form of motion of matter as a set of simpler forms of motion of single matter (mechanical, physical, chemical) determined the qualitative transition from inorganic to wildlife (biological form of motion of matter). The article provides a system of evidence for this process arising from the modern theory of mantle plumes.

Keywords: Geological form of matter motion, mantle plume theory, primitive Earth, abiogenesis, life, panspermia, dynamic physical-geological model
