The article presents the results of our research on the problem of global Holocene activation, conducted at the junction of Holocene tectonics, paleogeography, glaciology, and archaeology. Earlier works have studied the junction areas of tectonics with ore geology, meteoritics, speleology, and geomorphology. The basic model for them is the model of a pulsating expanding Earth. A fundamentally new scenario for the development of Late Pleistocene glaciation has been proposed for Northern Eurasia. Glaciers are considered as components of the host geological system. The source of their matter is the ice from the Arctic Ocean. The energy for glacier movement is provided by the regime of global Late Pleistocene compression. The melting of the last glaciers is explained by the impulsive increase in global compression and the activation of continental orogeny at the turn of the Pleistocene-Holocene as a result of the planet’s bombardment by an asteroid stream. The activation was accompanied by changes in the natural environment, with catastrophic consequences for the mammoth population and the Neolithic cultures of northern Eurasia. The transformations of the Holocene tectonics, erosion, and abrasion of the Moscow Moraine, the last moraine of the Late Pleistocene glaciation, are considered.
