SEASONAL MINERALIZATION ON MUD VOLCANOES OF AZEIBARDJAN
The features of morphology and material composition of seasonal mineral mud volcanoes in Azerbaijan are considered. They were found to consist mainly of sulphates — Na and Ca mirabilite, salts, thenardite, gypsum and yarozit.
Key words: mud volcano breccia, season minerals.
