Abstract
Fulfilled comparative analysis of the Aleutian and Izu-Bonin-Marian island-arc systems structure and geodynamic development. Izu-Bonin-Maian island-arc systems situated along сontinental margin of Eurasia in the West of Pacific Ocean. The Aleutian island-arc system is situated between the North American and Eurasian continents. Aleutian and Izu-Bonin-Marian island-arc systems appeared to be of the same age. Both island-arc systems form autonomous Philippine and Beringia small lithospheric plates. Izu-Bonin-Marianas island-arc system formed on exclusively geodynamic interaction of oceanic plate and back-arc basins, with the main role of the Pacific subduction. Aleutian system at the initial stage was formed as a result from separation of the part of Pacific Cretaceous crust by Aleutian subduction zone.
 The subsequent process of Aleutian system development was caused by geodynamics of movement of North American and Eurasian lithospheric plates. Pacific plate constant oblique subduction led to expansion of Aleutian island-arc system in the Western direction.
