The deep structure is considered along the geotraverse that runs across North China Plain, sedimentary basins of the East China Sea, the Philippine Sea abyssal basins, Mariana island arc, Mariana deep trench and the Northwest Pacific Basin. The geotraverse was constructed by the Geotraverse Project. The correlation between the deep structure of the upper mantle and surface geological formations was studied. The higher is the asthenosphere level containing primary magmatic centers, the greater is thermal flux density and the younger is the age when deep-sea basins and sedimentary basins were formed. The geodynamic constructions of the deep structure of sedimentary basins reflect the single mechanism of sedimentary basins formation of the area under studies associated with the asthenosphere upwelling towards the crust in the process of rear spreading of different age that was complicated with ascending flows of fluidal melts.
