Course content
The content of the discipline covers a range of issues related to the study of the rhythms of natural processes and their cyclicity, the influence of rhythms on the course of natural processes and their interaction. The discipline contains two parts. The first part is devoted to the study of solar activity and its rhythms, changes in the Earth's orbital parameters and its spatial position and related tides of different periods, variations in the Earth's magnetic field and their impact on the Earth's geospheres. The second part is dedicated to the study of rhythms that occur in different geospheres of the earth and have different durations, the influence of natural rhythms on human life and the importance of researching the rhythmicity of processes for predicting changes in the Earth's shells
