摘要
Based on historistic-causationist geotectonics proposed by Chen Guoda in1992, the authors attempt to further extend its contents and ranges, establish integrative geo-tectonics with wide ranges and higher synthesis. Integrative geotectonics is defined as a disci-pline to study very synthetically the whole history and causationistic relations of formation and evolution of the global tectonics (including the crustal and deep teetospheric structures) with the comprehensive analysis method. It is also called as "crustobody geotectonics" for its main geotectonic element is crustobody. Its characteristics are: (1) regarding the internal and exter-nal dynamics forming the earth’s structure as multi-origined, polygenetic compound resultant force system; (2) studying motions of the global tectospheres and among them as a multiple and interrelative dynamic system; (3) studying integratively and the unitedly on the internaland extenal (e. g. meteorite impact) factors of evolution and motion of crustobodies constituting the earth’s hard shell (lithosphere); (4) besides the contents above reviewing main relative controversies in history of geology, e. g. between gradual change and mutation (or between uniformitarinanisnl and catastrophism), f ixism and mobilism, vertical and horizon-tal movements.
