Resonance nature of sediment genesis cycle. Physical and astrophysical phenomena reveal and reflect themselves in geological processes and key parameters of the same, such as sediment genesis, geochronological scale, and numerous other phenomena which are subject matter of geology, vibro-geodynamics both as a research school studying oscillatory aspects of geo-environment existence. The results obtained make it possible to reveal, demonstrate, and describe analytically and model the in-depth causes of those processes. This can be justified theoretically in different ways and represented relatively simply and vividly, using a fundamental physical laws in an inventive manner, and discovering their new “geological effects”.
