To reveal and research the peculiarities of the geodynamic movements we made the database. It includes all known data on earthquakes and volcano eruptions of the Earth. We used the volume of the erupted products to characterize the “energy” of eruption. Not less than 80-90% of all eruptions and earthquakes occur within the Pacific margin. We collected new data on earthquakes migration for this region and revealed that volcano eruptions are also apt to migrate. It turned out that the migrational rates of the strongest earthquakes and eruptions are comparable in series of their value rates. This fact allows suggesting that the migrational waves of seismic and volcanic activity display the greater global geodynamic process. This process has different “colours” in different geophysical fields. The data allows using the obtained space-time peculiarities of distribution for the seismic and volcanic activity as the basis for the more general geodynamic model.
