Abstract
It has been defined that the clear spatial differentiation in the Far East is characteristic of the manifestation of the continentality and oceanicity interaction: it is minimal in the central areas of the continents and oceans and maximal in the transboundary ones. It has been established that the probability of origin and development of the related anomalous processes and disasters was included in the relation of continentality and oceanicity. Many peculiarities of the dynamic of the geosystems and anomalous processes are clarified. For example, the number and intensity of anomalous processes increase: the frequency of storms and storm surges grows and the washway of the seashores and submarine nearshore slope, etc., intensifies. As a result, the strip of active interpenetation of the continentality and oceanicity, emphasized currently by the mottled alternation of the forms, processes, and formations (in the goltsy zone of the middle altitudes, the formation of rock glaciers and cryogenic sorting of grounds and ice blisters and more in the valleys of mountain rivers) that are “strange” in origin, becomes displaced to the east, to the coastal zone. The repetition frequency of the extreme processes and their effect on the geosystems in the continental margin of the Russian Far East have increased in recent decades. It has been established that the use of continentality and oceanicity characteristics allows us to determine the ecological risks and has the high potential of application in solving urgent problems. It has been stated that the selection of the sustainable nature management strategy in the areas under consideration should make allowance for the existing risks and environmental restrains determined by them.
