The work presents results of radiometric, geometric and geochemical investigations of mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan. There have been also considered morphologies of anomalies of geophysical and geochemical fields in mud volcanoes.
In three genetically different fields there have been determined similar forms of anomalies. The most typical of them is a ring one (semi-ring). This enables to suppose common terms of their formation associated with pecu¬liarities of construction of mud volcanoes. According to seismic investigations confirmed by visual survey, the mud volcanoes, as a rule, are framed by ring anomalies which often form a cone of subsidence.
The ring high-permeable zones are characterized by relatively more active subvertical fluidodynamics. This determines formation of ring (semi-ring) anomalies in different fields.
