The definitions of the term “geological environment-that were given by different scientists previously are considered. An expanded interpretation of the content of the “geological environment-concept is suggested; it should contain not only anthropocentric and not only ecological meanings as the living environment, but also a broader “noospheric-meaning as a sensibly organized environment for human life and a habitat. Based on this fact, the term “geological environment-is given a new definition in respect to the noospheric concepts.
