Special features of slope formation at the Lower Amur region

Abstract

In spite of some achievements in slope and slope processes studies, there are series of problems which still require development, such as zonal division of slope types, slope movements mechanism and seasonal features of slope processes. It should be also mentioned that knowledge of slope processes varies on a broad range in various regions of the USSR. One must be careful when extrapolating one region's features to another region. Data on Lower Amur region slopes suggest some differences resulting from low order's regularities (various regions belong to different morphoclimatic areas) besides some features of slope structure and evolution which various regions have in common (they result from all the regions belonging to the same morphostructural province).
