Natural Disasters in Pacific Russia

Development of geosystems in Pacific Russia occur against the background of increased seismicity and are most clearly manifested with the participation of continentality (K; mainly winter) and oceanicity (O; due to monsoons) with the manifestation of catastrophes and the corresponding spectrum of anomalous phenomena: In the area of prevailing continentality, dry winds, fires, frost cracking, kurum formation, rockfalls, screes, etc. are characteristic; In the area of prevailing oceanicity -typhoons, showers, floods, storms and storm surges, tsunamis, mudflows, landslides and landslides, erosive washouts, avalanches and others.At maximum values of various K or O, the most intense anomalous phenomena are observed, and at minimum values, relatively less intense ones are observed.Original ways of determining these characteristics at the continental and regional levels are proposed.
