We present evidences of the diffusive motion of the ground and tunnels and show that if systematic movements are excluded then the remaining uncorrelated component of the motion obeys a characteristic fractal law with the displacement variance dY^2 scaling with time- and spatial intervals T and L as dY^2 \propto T^(Alpha)L^(Gamma) with both exponents close to 1. We briefly describe experimental methods of the mesa- and microscopic ground motion detection used in the measurements at the physics research facilities sensitive to the motion, particularly, large high energy elementary particle accelerators. A simple mathematical model of the fractal motion demonstrating the observed scaling law is also presented and discussed.
