Abstract
The structural composition and properties of the horizontal rotation of the elements of the Earth's surface, which is part of the skew-symmetric part of the geomechanical distortion tensor, are investigated. It is established that it consists of a real rotation, showing the rotation of a deformed area element in geospatial space, and a virtual one, displaying its artificial rotation. The decomposition of angular deformations into components leading to real and virtual rotation, as well as the calculation of their angles, is carried out according to the presented nomogram and the formulas attached to it. Practical examples show the deformation and rotation of complex contours of man-made mining facilities located on differently moving blocks of the Earth's surface.
