Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the characteristics of landscapes formed in territories of wide spread of mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan. It was found that mud volcanoes are mainly distributed in mountain-semidesert and desert landscapes, complicating their internal differentiation. Various structural and functional properties, relief, geological age, lithological and geochemical composition of mud volcanoes contribute to the formation of new types of landscapes. In addition, some assessments were made to identify the potential hazards and risks to the environment, as well as human health and life related to the geochemical properties of volcanic landscapes located at various hypsometric heights.

Key words: landscape, mud volcano, geochemistry, clarke, breccia, trace elements, concentration.
