Abstract

The paper is devoted to 85th anniversary of D.A. Timofeyev. The ways of development of the theoretic concepts about evolutionary and exogenous (climatic) geomorphology, about morphosculpture and morpholithosystems are described. The structure of the morphosculpture analysis is suggested as one of the ways leading to “synthetic geomorphology” – analysis of outer connections, inner relations, stability of morpholithosystems, their typification by level and degree of organization. More closely are considered some types of the morpholithosystems stability: quietude, development, equilibrium, anthropogenic and self-destruction.

Keywords

evolutionary geomorphology, exogenous (climatic) geomorphology, morphosculpture, morpholithosystem
