Among the sources of energy of the geodynamics of the Earth, the energy sources associated with changes in the structure and density of chemical compounds, especially near the so-called critical point, are ignored, which is confirmed by the discovery of the “superwater” and the detection of water in sunspots. It became clear that water fluids in a supercritical state are in the mantle and core of the Earth. The transition of water to a supercritical state, in our opinion, occurs near the Conrad border, which is recorded by seismic in the absence of a difference in rock lithology. Research and modeling of the parameters of chemical components at high temperatures and pressures will provide an answer to the origin of changes in seismic velocity and density of rocks at different depths of the Earth, which will increase the efficiency of forecasting, prospecting, and exploration of minerals and mitigation of the negative geodynamic processes.
