Abstract: The article discusses the ratio of the size and spatial position of ancient and modern areas of geodynamic processes (tectonic-sedimentary systems) and the resulting geological bodies. It has been established that regardless of the rank and geodynamic affiliation of tectonic-sedimentary systems at all levels, from local to supra-regional, the implementation of geological processes proceeds along the path of least energy expenditure. In the modern structure of the Atlantic-Arctic Rift System, this trend is expressed in the development of strike-slips on the principle of maximum straightening of transfer zones between its segments. In the future, it will also determine progradation of the rift system through Eurasian platform region.
