Abstract

The article discusses and extends the known concept on block structure of geomedium by Peive–Sadovsky. It is shown that interaction of structural geoblocks generates force moment. This allowed construction of rotation model of geomedium, assumption of the existence of “rotation” waves and explanation of rheidity properties of geomedium. It appears that representative values of “rotation” waves are close to the velocity values of pendulum waves (µ-waves by Oparin).
