Azerbaijan is a country in Transcaucasia in Western Asia. It borders on Russia in the north, Georgia in the north-west, Iran in the south and Armenia in the west. In the east, it is washed by the waters of the Caspian Sea. The Nakhichevan Region, separated from the country by the Armenian territory, is also part of Azerbaijan. The area of Azerbaijan is 86,600 sq km.

Relief. Near half of the Azerbaijani territory is covered by mountains - the Greater Caucasus Range in the north and the Lesser Caucasus Range in the south-west. The highest peak of the country is Mount Bazardüzü (4,466 m) in the Main, or the Watershed, Range, while the lowest point is found in the Caspian Sea (-28 m). In the middle part of the country, there is the Kura-Aras Lowland, while in the south-east, the Lenkeran Depression is situated.

Mountains. The south-eastern part of the Greater Caucasus belongs to Azerbaijan. There are two mountain ranges here: the main, or watershed, range with the highest peak Bazardüzü (4,466 m) and the big, or side, range with the highest peak Shakhdag (4,243 m). The main range of the Caucasus is surrounded by foothills - it has plains with meadows in the north-west, Gobustan in the south-east, Alazan-Khaftaran in the south-west and the sloping Gussar plain in the north-east.

The Lesser Caucasus includes the south-western and the western parts of the Republic of Azerbaijan. Major mountain ranges include the Murovdag, Shakhdag and Zangezur Ranges. The Karabakh highlands which start in the southern Murovdag up to the Aras River are situated on the arch-like cones of extinct volcanoes and lava of the forth period. The Lesser Caucasus was formed by volcanogenic and deposited rocks of the Jurassic and the Cretacious periods.

The Talysh Mountains are situated on the south-eastern edge of Azerbaijan. The Talysh Mountains form a transition link between the mountains of the Lesser Caucasus and the Elbrus Mountains (Iran), and they consist of three major mountain ranges with an average height of 2,477 m.
