Displacement of rocks and parameters of the trough of displacement

Abstract This article examines the relevance of issues related to the movement of rocks and the determination of the parameters of the zone of propagation of the slide, since to this day, there are a number of unresolved problems in the field of its practical application. Returning to the origins of the formation of mining sciences and the field of their study, it can be noted that these issues have been moving from one group to another for a long time, but still related to the tasks of surveying. However, studying this issue gives a clear understanding that it should be solved in a wider range, involving knowledge in such fields as geology, physics and mechanics of rocks, surveying, mining science, as well as the necessary knowledge in the field of managing the state of the massif and its stress-strain state. The discipline that most fully embraces all of the above sciences for studying the processes of rock movement is geomechanics, from which side attempts were made to study it.
