The Earth's surface and its seemed to be chaotic relief are
quite ordered in reality, the ordered character of them is determined
by the existence of the structural energetic framework
of the planet. It is a result of the interaction between
the uneven Earth s rotation and the Universe. The framework
is formed by the crossing of stratifiable (geospheres
etc.) and nonstratifiable (geosystems etc.) natural and social
objects, their physical fields and sizes of a different ranks,
their genesis and degree of ordering. The structural framework
in the endogenous geospheres is chiefly material-tectonic
and difficult to observe; in the exogenous it is energetic
and weakly revealed by traditional methods. The framework
is mostly marked and easy to observe for remote
methods on the Earth's surface where it is presented by the
planet lineament system (nets). The latter is formed by the
crossing lineaments and its natural (linear, lattice-like, concentric,
cellular, vortex etc.) combinations or lineament systems
(Ls). The Ls reflect non-stratifiable ordered geological
objects (in plan) and they determine structural-geometrical
parametres (form, sizes, structure and symmetry) of
the relief fofms of different ranks, appearance, structural
complexity, endogenous organization type and degree, genesis
(tectogenous, tectonicly determined, a-tectonic).

Tectogenous morphotectures and forms built by the endogenous
processes are the most ordered. They completely
correspond (in plan) to LS which are in the base. These
structures are surface (coinciding with the Earth's surface)
forms of the latest or prepared geological bodies, dislocated
or material-dislocated. Limits of the surface forms are
of the morphotectonic character and they are presented by
tectonomorphic or lithornorphic lineaments.
Tectonicaly determined morphostructures and forms are
built by the interaction of the endogenous and exogenous
factors, they are less ordered for they reflect but the structure
of LS in the base. Sizes and eroded character of the
morphostructures do not coincide completely with the LS
skeleton (in plan) and with the material/material-dislocated
geological bodies. Limits are of the exogenous-endogenous
geomorphological genesis and of complicated
outline.
A-tectonic morphosculptures and forms are built mainly
by the exogenous (destructive and accumulative) processes.
However, there are also ordered formations among
them, their regular (isaometric, circular, rectilinear etc.)
form, structure or orientation are determined by the corresponding
structure of the tectonic or energetic values of
the planet structural frame-work. Outer contours of such
morphosculptures are of the exogenous, exogenousgeophysic
and exogenous-tectonic genesis.
High endogenous informativity of the Earth's surface ordered
relief enables to use it for the prospecting of new types
of tectonic objects; for investigation of the geographic
structure as the environment of formation and functioning
of the society; for determination of the frame-work energetic
value localization that influences on the technogenous
system state and on the human health.
