Geographically concept "Arctic" uncertain enough. There is a set of approach to definition of its borders and set the variants of these borders (eternal permafrost, boreal tayga, drifting ice, temperature, etc.). Most correct the point of view of Ecology is realization of Arctic borders on borders of the Arctic geo - depression. Such approach allows to consider in a complex migration of natural substance and polluting substance from orogenes to deep-water hollows of Arctic Ocean. On other hand, it is necessary to take into account natural power flows from zone of Mid-Arctic ridge system at Arctic Ocean to continental land, that is opposition direction process. The certificates of such influence at different levels of Earth's crust already has collected enough (speed of seismic wave on Moho discontinuity; modern vertical movement of Earth's crust; distribution of temperature on depth; structure of basement, etc.). During the last 250 million years the Arctic geo-depression has been developing as an autonomous region with circumpolar zonality, and mass-and-energy transfer in its bowlers as well as shitting of lithospheric plates and expansion of the ocean are caused by rotational forces under conditions of an expanding planet. Four types of geoecological structures have been recorded on the basis of deep structures, position in the over-all structures of regions, place in geological history of its evolution, time of appearance, geodynamic regimes , seismicity, structural-morphological features, specific form of appearance and composition of magmatic and sedimentary formations, compositions of soil, specific metallogenic nature, types of human activity, etc. It is tectonic Segments of Earth, as geoecological global structures; the continental marginal perioceanic zones; the branches of continental marginal perioceanic zones; the mineragenic province. The main criteria of ecological unity of territory under consideration are established to the following: circumpolar position; rigorous climate with short vegetation period and a long winter; extremely wide prevalence of permafrost rocks; multitude of bogs and lake per square unit in basis of many rivers flowing into Arctic Ocean; proximity of the structure and formation of ecosystem; fragility of the Arctic environment; specificity of national economic structure; uniqueness of the raw material base having no equals in the word in its resources and content minerals of certain components; availability of the word's largest Arctic shelf oil-and-gas super basin; common geoecological natural belts; circumpolar belt of earthquakes.

We found that the wave train is composed mainly of Pg and Sg waves which reach the seismic station from different azimuths. With the hypothesis that the signal is the sum of discrete arrivals due to different rays crossing the continental slope at different locations, synthetic seismograms of T waves are computed taking into account the variation of the conversion point along the slope. The transmission of energy from the ocean to the continental crust is mainly due to diffraction effects. The duration arid the amplitude of the T phase, which are two criteria used to evaluate tsunami risk, are greatly influenced by the shape of the continental slope.
