Develops advanced V.I. Vernadsky of the unity and mobility in natural waters of the Earth, are caused by the global water cycles, the comparative evaluation of quantitative models are given in the monograph, including oceanic, climatic, surface, biological, glacial, subsurface, sedimentary and geological water cycle, allows deeper understanding of the role of water in the development of basic natural processes and the evolution of the Earth. It is shown that the redistribution of natural waters, carried out on the surface and in the interior of the Earth's rocks, produces a great work in their transformation and transport of substances in liquid and solid phases, comparable in scale to the mass of the Phanerozoic sedimentary-metamorphic and granitic shells of the Earth’s crust. Assessed the scope of participation and patterns of natural water regime in the major exogenous biogenics and endogenous processes, including hypergenesis, lithogenesis, metamorphism, magmatism, volcanism. Comparative analysis of the distribution of water on Earth and terrestrial planets showed that on the Earth, where cycles are implemented subsurface waters, covering the Earth's crust and mantle, there are conditions to compensate for dehydration and degassing of the Earth, which allow support volcanism and lithosheric plates drift during its evolution at a constant level. For a wide range of professionals in the field of earth sciences, including undergraduate and graduate students.
