Earth flows of Azerbaijan have basically a rain – storm origin. From the common area of Azerbaijan 86,6 thousand км² on a share of mountains and foothills is 49,6 thousand km² or more than 57 %. To development mud flows within the limits of mountain territories of the Greater and Lesser Caucasus promotes litological structure of rocks composing them. Intensity of washout is distributed on mountain territories rather non-uniformly. The module of a total drain of deposits changes in the big limits: from 12 t/km² in Lyankyaran areas up to 3486 thousand/km² on a southern slope of the Greater Caucasus. In the highest sizes of the module of erosion the rivers of the Greater Caucasus differ. On the rivers of a northeast slope of the Greater Caucasus the module of erosion changes from 532 thousand/km² (r. Qarachay)) up to 2025 thousand/km² (r. Khanaliqchay), and on the rivers of a southern slope of the Greater Caucasus – from 222 thousand/km² (r. Oquzchay)) up to 3486 thousand/km² (r. Damarchik).
Landslips are one of the most widespread natural phenomena. Mountain territories of Azerbaijan are one of classical areas of distribution of these processes. Having azonal development, landslips are equally widely advanced as in the field of high mountains and middle mountains, in conditions of deployed radical rocks Jurassic and swept, and in poorly deployed, quite often, is horizontal laying rocks Paleocene-Neogene.
The greatest development landslips and landslips – earth flows are observed in river pools of the Greater Caucasus. The general area о landslips the files distributed within the limits of this region, makes 1467 km² or 58,8 % from the area of river pools.
The greatest development landslips and landslips – earth flows take place in river pools of the rivers Garachaj, Velvelichay, Qilqilchay, Atachay, Tuqchay and Sumqaitchay on a northeast slope of the Greater Caucasus, rr. Geokchay, Qirdimanchay, Akhsuchay, Pirsaqatchay on a southern slope of the Main Caucasian ridge.
In Azerbaijan flooding is observed basically on the rivers the Kura and Araz. On the majority of the rivers of republic the maximal charges of water are observed during high water.
In article flooding of a coastal zone of Azerbaijan in result of the Caspian sea level rise also is considered. The coast of the country is divided into three parts: northern, average and southern, and for each part it is determined ecological and a material damage, and also the areas of flooding. They are submitted as tables.
The article comes to an end definition of the damage put to an environment of occupied territories, as a result of the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict. On the basis of digital satellite pictures it is shown, that as a result of the fires made on occupied territories of Azerbaijan, 63 414 Hа pastures, arable lands and ground plantings were fired, the top fertile layer of ground, having burned down, became unsuitable, and in an atmosphere the huge amount of harmful substances was thrown out. All damage put to an environment, is estimated in 159 468 247 (AZN) or in 181 213 917 US dollars. Basically protected territories have suffered.
