Abstract
Оn the basis of the analysis of the results of modern domestic, foreign and author's research, the problems of tectonic inheritance in the course of supercontinental cyclicity are considered, examples of it in the form of repeated manifestations of Wilson cycles within a specific zones, paleomagnetic data on the similarity of reconstructions of supercontinents of different ages are given. The deep, predetermining causes of this inheritance, consisting in the existence of weakened zones of the lithospheric mantle, controlling the processes of formation and decay of supercontinents, are shown.
