Abstract

Geomorphologic system (GMS) is the aggregate of topographic forms and elements interrelated by morphogenic processes, which possess emergent features and is characterized by inner activity. These are complex stochastic systems having the attributes of centrality of purpose and autoregulation. One of the research problems is to show that given complex of forms may be considered as a system and not as merely body or mix of elements, that this complex answers the main system principles among which integrity denominates self-sufficiency of this object, its distinctness. Geomorphic processes provide inner activity and self-sufficiency of GMS. The integrity means compactness of GMS, its space unity. GMSs may only be divided or united until they persist as integral geomorphologic units, until they posses such qualities as height (depth), length, slope, form of profile etc.
