Overview
- Provides a historical retrospective review and shows the current trend of empirically stated phenomena of fractal self-similarity, spatial regularity in non-uniform natural systems
- Contains 1D-, 2D- and 3D graphics to illustrate the physical and mathematical justification of Earth's wave dynamics
- Combines professional terminology with the down-to-earth language allowing study of book content both in research, and for educational purposes

About this book
This volume describes physical, formal mathematical and exterior (morpho-structural) manifestations of wave dynamics of the Earth, defining both its deep structural image, and the external shape of planet. In addition to the standard imagination about waves in the geological environment as short-term seismological and seismic effects, wave dynamics of the Earth are considered as long-time process, comparable to the geochronological scale. The book consists of a systematic description of the conformities discovered in the set of heterogeneous and different-order objects, which have space-related regularity and recurrence at the different levels of resolution of analysis of natural systems. For expert-geologist it includes the basis of the geodynamic wave-related concept which enables to add to the traditional concept of plate tectonics, as well as the methods of quantitative interpretation of measured geo-fields.
