Abstract
Various mechanisms of creation of the extended spectrum of MHD turbulence in the interstellar medium are reviewed. Within the scales 1014 cm ≲ L ≲ 1019 cm the turbulence mostly consists of the ensemble of weak shock waves. At 1012 cm ≲ L ≲ 1014 cm the principle mechanism is generation of MHD waves by cosmic rays.
