A computer simulation of the lithosphere plates global motion is performed by applying the \texttt{Citcom} program. The model under consideration includes equations of energy and mass transfer and equation of momentum conservation. A phase transition at 660 km depth with a 9\% density jump and an equilibrium curve slope of 2.5 MPa per grad K are taken as parameters. Calculations of convection with generation and evolution of oceanic lithosphere plates enable to compare seismic tomography data with numerical modeling.
