Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article examines geological processes and phenomena that have a significant impact on the life and activities of human society. In the course of research using a number of methods, it was established that geological processes were fundamental in relation to processes occurring on the Earth’s surface and in its atmosphere. It is also substantiated that geographical determinism is a derivative of geological determinism. The leading role of geological determinism is determined by the dynamics o
