The object and subject of the study is the origin and development of the relief of the south of the Far East. The goal and objectives are to show the differences in the application of the principles of actualism and historicism for understanding the nature of regional climorogenesis. This is the unique novelty of the authors research. The main findings of the study are: 1) the greatest effect is given by a method based on a combination of both principles actualism and historicism 2) the presented results revealed the need to take into account the peculiarity of the Far East, reflected in many ancient and modern sloping processes that create forms that are not repeated in other regions 3) completed developments can make significant adjustments in the selection of optimal environmental management options. This is especially significant in the context of the outlined directed strengthening of continentality and general regional cooling, accompanied by a widespread increase in environmental risks. Materials and methods the author used the data of many years of research in Chukotka, Wrangel Lake and Kolyma (19571959 19711972), as well as in the lowlands (19741979) and in the mountains (20072011) of the south of the Far East, and available literary sources. In the analysis, comparative geographical and information methods were applied. In the Far East, there is a mutual overlapping of relief forms in time and space created by different processes generated by changing climates or changing climatic seasons. This creates agerelated multiplicity within the same shape or single relief element. The destruction of ancient landforms occurs most rapidly on the slopes of river valleys, and the maximum complication of morphogenesis corresponds to the upper zone of the mountains and the transition bands from areas of denudation to areas of stable accumulation. An analysis of the relief within these spaces makes it possible to identify the degree of complication of morphogenesis.
