Аnnotation: The intraterrestrial heat is responsible for emergence of the fluidosphere – a fundamental element of the Earth’s structure, covering volume from the outer boundary of the inner core to the base of the Earth’s crust, are considered. The fluidosphere is experiencing drainage processes that develop throughout the entire history of the Earth and the most intense transport of melts to the surface was manifested during 20 tectono-magmatic epochs. Characteristics of the global endodrainage system, which is the main planetary structure insuring relieeve of intraterrestrial stresses, transport to the outer parts of the Earth and distribution of massive abyssal fluid bodies (which, in particular, include plumes and superplumes, registered in the Earth), are presented. Features of strong crustal earthquakes preparation as a result of intense thermal processes considered; they develop in the asthenolayer, underlying the Earth’s crust, where abyssal and metamorphic melts and gases accumulate. Using examples of some earthquakes, the pre-seismic deformation development described and the regime of formation and expansion over the future earthquake epicenter a short-lived extension structure is analyzed. It is stated that intraterrestrial heat is the starter of all the processes of matter evolution on the Earth; the same position is extended to the multiple forms of biological substances (living cells) being exposed to the intraterrestrial thermal radiation. A hypothesis has been proposed for the dark skin acquisition by hominines and human populations, migrated to Africa 7–8 million years ago, as a consequence of life-long thermal radiation influence on all living generations of African superplume.
