Abstract
Prediction of exogenic geological processes (EGP) involves scientifically substantiated forecasting of events in space and time under the action of natural and anthropogenically induced factors. The goal of the EGP prediction is to give the answers to the three basic questions — where, when and of which activity (size) one or another type of exogenic geological process can happen, and also to address some specific questions such as: to what distance and with what velocity collapsed rocks will move; how large will be the area affected by the process, etc.
