The monograph is based on the textbook by T. K. Zlobin (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Sakhalin State University, 2014), which was refined and supplemented significantly. The book presents modern concepts of geodynamical processes in the Earth’s core and its shells (mantle and crust, hydrosphere and atmosphere), up to the space phenomena, which are relevant to a variety of natural disasters: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, avalanches, mudslides, tsunamis, storm surges. Tropical cyclones (typhoons, hurricanes, tornadoes), and falls of celestial objects have been characterized as well. Alongside the description of modern geodynamic processes, information is provided on the history of stars, the Sun and planets, the problem of the emergence of the Earth’s magnetic field, the inversion of magnetic poles, etc. The energy of geodynamic processes and natural disasters, their hierarchy and properties: fractality and quasi-periodicity, possible regime changes (bifurcations) have been considered.
