Abstract
The analysis of
extensive database on river suspended sediment yield has allowed to reveal a number of the basic global regularities of its
formation, first of all such as dependence on climatic and landscape
conditions, geological and geomorphic structure, river basin area. Besides, the
spatial variability of suspended sediment yield from various continents into
the World Ocean and contemporary trend changes of intensity of erosion and
suspended sediment yield are analyzed; two principal morphological-dynamic
types of erosion systems are established.
