Technogene As a New Stratigraphic Unit. Human Activity in Technogene.

      Аннотация: The Technogene has been defined as an independent stratigraphic taxon, the aspects of technogenic transformations of the geological environment have been considered. Human activity in the Technogene as a motive power comparable by its scales to geological processes, and in some cases as a ruling process has been examined. Both endogenous and exogenous processes as well as human activity directed to provision of the mankind with energy resources have been considered. A comparative characteristic of the mechanism of dynamics and a scale of natural and technogenic processes has been performed. An increase in manifestations of gravitational movements and relief-formation of technogenic character has been determined. The energy balance of the earth surface as a factor which leads to heating the planet and defines climate fluctuations - the most difficult environmental protection problem at present has been considered. The book is intended for medical officers, physicians, geologists, geographers, ecologists, sociologists, political and public men and a wide range of readers.
