We undertook a field survey of ground surface deformation under the influence of the frost heave process. The study has been conducted on the testing sites located in the different areas of the Sredneamurskaya lowland terrain (South of the Far East). It has been established that there is the most advanced alteration of the surface in the flood plains and broad water course valley bottoms, and there is a minimal alteration aslope and at the nearby water-dividing flat areas. Ground surface deformation is more active in the areas where the earthworks had been executed in comparison with the natural areas.
