On the basis of the Yohkoh data on the site and mechanism of magnetic energy transformation into thermal and kinetic energies of superhot plasmas and accelerated particles, a model is developed that explains observed properties of collisionless 3D reconnection in active regions. The model makes intelligible the observed relation between the S-like morphology and eruptive activity.
