Abstract—

The issues of developing a general classification of geological processes that are the subject of research in modern engineering geodynamics, one of the areas of engineering geology, are considered. A new general classification of geological processes for the purposes of engineering geology is proposed, taking into account the disadvantages of previous similar classifications and covering the whole variety of both natural geological processes and their technogenic analogues, that is, engineering-geological processes.
