From the viewpoint of the considered relationship, the studies results make possible to think about the probability of a risk factor on several aspects: The reservoir was built in 2007, and to this day the water area has been expanding without taking into account the necessary distance from the mud volcano. Excluding the north-eastern part the mud volcano, other sides of its crater buried beneath the Reservoir water. Due to the daily activity of the mud volcano, heavy toxic metals, gases, radioactive elements and etc. have been ejecting to the Earth’s surface in the compositions of various phase of volcanic products and directly contact with the Reservior water. Expansion the Reservoir area and water volume leads to increase in additional geostatistical pressure in volcanic area. In addition, the mud volcano is located near the Shamakhi-Ismayilli active seismic zone in Azerbaijan. Both factors increase the eruption risk the volcano that has been “asleep” for many years.

Despite many years of reforms to overcome the difficulties of the transition period, it is not possible to increase the share of regions in the socio-economic development of the country. These processes also manifest themselves in the economic region of Lankaran-Astara in the southern part of the country. Poor supply of natural resources, inefficient organization of the agricultural sector, and high rates of population growth over the years due to natural growth have caused serious problems in the creation of work places and the organization of social and cultural services. This situation has also contributed to migration. In order to solve them, it is important to implement large-scale socio-economic measures and to develop their scientific and theoretical basis.

Email: [email protected] Citation: Oglu AZH (2018) Features, Nature and Economic Conditions of Azerbaijan. Open Acc J Agri Res: OAJAR-100003. Received Date: 23 August, 2018; Accepted Date: 10 September, 2018; Published Date: 10 October, 2018 Abstract Natural and economic conditions in Azerbaijan are very complex and peculiar. Up to 60% of the entire territory of Azerbaijan is occupied by mountain and foothill zones, the remaining part are (42.8%) plains and lowlands. High mountains, intermountain depressions, valleys, volcanic highlands, which were formed during the geological epoch, cover the territory of the republic. On a relatively small territory of the republic, there is a whole complex of deposits. The features of the geological structure and the available material on the tectonics of the whole territory of the republic make it possible to restore the history of the development of its relief from the early geological epochs. In the Greater and Lesser Caucasus, the geological history of relief development can be traced from the Upper Jurassic, in Talysh from the beginning of the Paleogene, in the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic from the Paleozoic, which is confirmed by the investigations of B.A. Antonova, B.A. Budagova at the beginning of the Oligocene, early Miocene tectonic processes are intensified and as a result, in all folded surfaces, an increase in land occurs.
