Abstract
The large absolute heights, the complex geological and orographic structure ofKyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, their geographical position in the depths of the Eurasian continent,surrounded by vast deserts and the related continental and arid climate, create a great diversity oflandscapes, a variety of natural conditions. By the totality of natural factors, taking into accounttheir spatial differences, the structure of the altitudinal zonality of landscapes, the territoryof the two countries is a complex system of geocomplexes of different ranks. Geocomplexes ofCentral Kazakhstan belong to the arid system and are developing under the conditions ofmanifestation of natural and technogenic processes. According to the peculiarities of geologicaland geomorphological differentiation of the territory, depending on local physiographic conditionsand processes, landscapes are distinguished relative to the lowered accumulative plains, elevateddenudation plains, small hills and island lowlands.
