Abstract

Geomorphological zoning is as an integrated approach to analyze the land surface and subsequently synthesize the spatial analysis with geomorphological processes developed on it. The main types and objectives of geomorphological zoning are discussed within the framework of a . geomorphologic region , or a modeled geomorphic system. The geomorphological zoning approach is based on understanding of system-wide and geographical laws of the structural and functional integrity of spatial objects within the system. At the same time, the identity of geomorphological region is connected to its internal make-up- element, integrity, structure, stability, dynamics, genesis, and with functioning – transformation of solar energy, moisture circulation, geochemical circulation, biological metabolism, mechanical movement of material under the action of gravity. The main approaches available to date to geomorphological zoning are considered. The main principles of geomorphological zoning are formulated. The conclusion is made about the fundamental possibility of geomorphological zoning in accordance with the stated principles and its, first of all, practical orientation.
