matic conditions (global regularities of balance of warmth
and moisture), and that's why exogenic reliefforming processes
created equivalent systems of geomorphological
landscape.
We guess, that conception of morphoclimatic zones with
similar reactions of adaptation in the period of intensification
of influence of anthropogenic factor on the environment
(and on relief), will caused further interest of investigators
in the field of ecological geomorphology. In lecture
I am going to expound the results of the investigations in
the field of evaluation of engineering-geomorphological
and ecologic-geomorphological conditions of two large regions
of Eastern-European plain-cryological-litological zone
(Arkhangelsk region of Russia) and zone of dry steppes
of Ukraine.

Evaluations of a basal geomorphological map (1:10.000)
from a section of the Kreuzeckgruppe, Carinthia, show a
specific distribution of features of accelerated slope erosion
in the investigated alpine periglacial zone above the
tree line. The erosional features are characterised by the
absence of turf. Generally their boundaries in the upper
parts are abrupt and complicated, primarily caused by
needle ice activity. The areas without turf (
