Everyone has seen volcanoes in movies, on TV or in nature, but no one has proved the real connection of volcanoes with wildlife. We are going, however, to do so in part. The mini-review presented below focuses on this particular goal of us. In wildlife, among living cells, microorganisms and viruses, the behavior of individual objects or their populations is explained by the instinct of self-preservation of both individuals and the population as a whole. We have considered 2 objects as the examples from an in animated nature related by topological similarity: spin combustion and movement of volcano chains along the surface of the Earth and found that they both exhibit very similar behavior which can be interpreted as a manifestation of the instinct of self-preservation in an in animated nature. Thus, the clustering and synchronization inherent in both spin combustion and volcano chains represent themselves the laws of self-preservation in non-living nature. These laws may serve as a basis for further joint studies of living and non- living nature in the same key, or in the same way
