Abstract

The article contains an idea that extreme geomorphologic processes (hereinafter – EGP) associated with accumulation and transportation of debris – landslides, rockslides and mudflows – forms a cycle. Cycle scheme: after the huge mudflows descend in the mountainous landscape the debris begins to accumulate as a result of landslide-rockslide, fluvial processes and the avalanche overthrow. After reaching a critical mass, even under low effect of any factors (precipitation, temperature, seismicity, frost weathering and snow accumulation) the next mudflows descend is occur. For the first time all these factors are considered in the complex in present article. An integrated analysis of air temperature, precipitation, seismicity and frost weathering diagrams was carried out for the Balkar Cherek River basin. According to preliminary data EGP cycle comes to 4–6 years within research territory.
