Abstract

Our considerations are pointed to a role of microstructure in a geological space and especially in that region of Earth interior where earthquakes are occuring. It seems that internal structure and discontinuities hare an essential influence on development of geophysical processes. Moreover, it is resonable to believe that the conception of continuum with microstructure can be a suitable tool to describe the earthquake phenomena and wave propagation in the near focal zone.
