中文摘要：

大陆动力学是研究和探索地球内部物质大尺度运动和深化认识地球本体与其在整体运动中深部圈层耦合、介质与结构变异的物理-力学属性、物质与能量的交换、深层动力过程和机制的一门边缘科学．地球动力学集成了当代众多高、新学科技领域和学科交叉的研究成果，它涉及到成山、成盆、成岩、成矿、成灾和深化对地球本体的认识，它在地球科学研究中占有极为重要的地位．本文通过深入研究、综合集成与剖析讨论了该领域五个重要的基本科学问题，即：（1）地球动力学在地球科学研究中的地位和作用；（2）国际上地球动力学研究的进展和发展动向；（3）中国地球动力学的研究状况；（4）当今地球动力学研究的导向和战略思考；（5）地球动力学研究在我国的实现和开拓．

英文摘要：

Continental dynamics is a borderline subject in the study for the exploration of large-scale motion of deep materials and understanding of the earth that involve the different spheres and layer coupling, physical and mechanical mechanisms of differentiation and regulations in deep structures and attributes, exchange of material and energy in deep dynamic processes. Geodynamics has integrated research results of current high and new technology fields and cross-disciplines, and involves the discoveries of the basic mechanisms of mountains, basins, minerals and natural disasters. It plays an important role in the study of the earth science. Five important basic scientific subjects are as follows： 1. The role and function of geodynamics in the earth science. 2. The research progress and development trend of geodynamics in the world. 3. The research status of Chinese geodynamics. 4. The research orientation and strategic thoughts of current geodynamics. 5. The implementation and exploitation of geodynamics in China.
