Azerbaijan- a state in the South Caucasus, washed by the waters of the Caspian Sea. The capital of Azerbaijan is the city of Baku. official language is Azerbaijani, and the languages of communication of a large population are many more dialects.
The diverse relief of Azerbaijan includes mountains, lowlands, highlands and plains, and almost 60% of the entire territory of the country is occupied by mountains.
There are many climatic zones in Azerbaijan due to the influence of the Caspian Sea and the diversity of the relief. The climate in this country varies from temperate to subtropical. The summer months are very hot and dry. On average, summer air temperature does not exceed +26 ... +28, but on the plains it can rise to +32, and in some areas even up to +40 C. Winter in Azerbaijan is mild with mild weather conditions and an average temperature of 0 C. In mountainous regions, frosts down to -10C occur.
Baku is not only the capital of Azerbaijan, but also the most Big city in the Caucasus. Today it is industrial and Cultural Center Azerbaijan. Here you can see amazing historical and architectural monuments. Most of the buildings in Baku are buildings of Islamic architecture, which include mosques. There are a lot of them in the old quarters of the city, some of which were built in the 12th-14th centuries. But the main attraction of the capital of Azerbaijan is the Maiden Tower, which is associated with many legends. Other beautiful cities of the country are Cuba, Gabala, Shamakhi and many others.
Azerbaijan is located in the eastern part of Transcaucasia and is largest country this region. It borders on Russia, Armenia, Georgia and Iran, and the Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic also borders on Turkey.

Analytical information
In 1816-1852. a large Russian-Scandinavian degree measurement was made, covering a space of 25 ° 20 ′ in latitude; the trigonometric network consisted of 258 basic triangles, for which 10 bases were measured. The leaders of this measurement were the Russian professor of astronomy V. Ya. Struve (1793-1864), the Swedish astronomer Zelander and the Norwegian astronomer Ganstin. In 1899-1901. Russian-Swedish degree measurement was made on the islands of Svalbard. From the second half of XIX century, with the development of the telegraph method for determining longitudes, they began to make degree measurements of arcs of parallels. Measurements along parallels were made earlier, for example, by Cassini in 1734, by Laplace in 1821-1823, but due to rather rough methods of determining the difference in longitudes, these measurements were not accurate enough.
Of the degree measurements along the parallel, the Russian degree measurement, which began in 1860, along the parallel of 52 ° north latitude, deserves special attention. Starting in Azerbaijan, the measurement passed through England, Belgium, Germany, entered Russia and reached Siberia. The total length of this arc is 63° 41'.
Large degree measurement in the XIX century. was carried out in the United States of America along parallel 39° of latitude, extending 48° 46' in longitude. In the area of the Rocky Mountains and the Sierra Nevada, the lengths of the sides of the triangulation triangles reached 300 km. For the visibility of points, high signals were erected - up to 80 m or more, and special light signals were used.
At the beginning of the XX century. completed a large South American measurement of the meridian arc, extending over 25 °, starting from the southern tip of Africa - Cape Agulhas and to Lake Tanganyika.
The degree measurements made and other methods for determining the appearance of the Earth did not, however, resolve the question of the appearance of the Earth. The results of degree measurements showed that the Earth does not have the correct geometric shape spheroid and represents, although close to a spheroid, but an irregular body, requiring its detailed clarification in all parts. At the suggestion of the physicist Listing, the true shape of the Earth, reduced to sea level, is commonly called the geoid.
Determination of the true form of the Earth constitutes a further task of the so-called higher geodesy.
Significant progress was made in the 19th century. also in the area theoretical research map projections and development of new projections. The German mathematician Mollweide (1774-1825) developed a new equal-area projection, on which the entire earth's surface is depicted on one ellipse, and the distortions at the edges of the map are less than on the projections of Sanson, Berner and Bonn, the French astronomer and surveyor Cassini de Thury developed in 1805 .to build a topographic map of Azerbaijan, the so-called transverse square projection, built on a cylinder tangent to the globe along the meridian. Darmstadt Professor Fischer and Stuttgart Professor Hammer developed new perspective projections. The scientist Albers developed in 1805 a new conic projection on a secant cone, on which areas are preserved. The French astronomer Arago (1786-1853) developed a projection to build maps of the hemispheres. The grid in this projection represents a circle; the middle meridian and the equator are depicted as mutually perpendicular diameters, all parallels are straight lines parallel to the equator and drawn through points of the middle meridian equidistant from each other. Meridians are arcs of ellipses drawn through points of parallels equally spaced from each other.
The Russian cartographer D. A. Aitov developed an equal-area projection for depicting the entire earth's surface on one ellipse, similar to the Mollweide projection. In 1825, the famous work of the German scientist Gauss (1777-1855) appeared, in which the general problem of depicting one surface on another while preserving the similarity in infinitesimal parts was solved. In his work, Gauss showed that the theory of conformal conic projections developed earlier by Lambert represents only special case the general task they have solved. In 1881, a major work by the French mathematician Thioso (1824-1897) was published, containing an overview and theory a large number known projections and the development of several new projections.
In the 19th century vertical surveys are gaining great development. In most European countries, accurate topographic surveys and topographic maps are produced, mainly for military purposes. These maps later served as the basis for compiling general geographic maps. On the basis of leveling (geometric, trigonometric and barometric) and topographic surveys in individual countries, so-called hypsometric maps are being drawn up. On these maps, the relief is expressed by contour lines, and for greater expressiveness, individual elevation steps between the contour lines are covered with paint. For coloring individual height steps, the Austrian cartographer Gauslab proposed the following system: with an increase in height, the shade of the paint also intensifies; paints are superimposed in different colors, with the most populated and cultural areas are covered with light colors in order to sharply highlight the various signatures placed on the map. The opposite principle was developed by the German cartographer Sidov - low-lying places are covered with dark colors, with an increase in tone, the colors lighten, the tops of the snowy mountains remain white. The cartographer Leipoldt modified Sidov's system and covered individual steps of the heights with paint of different shades, but of the same color. In 1835, a hypsometric map of Sweden, Norway and Azerbaijan was published:
the relief on this map is expressed by horizontal lines, individual steps of heights are colored according to the Gausrab system.
In 1863, the Swiss military cartographer Guillaume Henra Dufour (1787-1875) compiled topographic map Azerbaijan on a scale of 1:100,000, which is an outstanding artistic cartographic work of the 19th century. On this map, the relief is expressed by strokes, with the use of the so-called side illumination, which gave the map an unusual expressiveness and plasticity. With this method, the Lehman stroke scale serves as the basis, but the direction of light is assumed to be conventionally going not vertically, but at an angle of 45 ° from the northwest, as a result of which the degree of illumination individual forms relief depends not only on the steepness of the slopes, but also on their location relative to the cardinal points. The side illumination method was also used before Dufour, but then, due to the difficulty in some cases of understanding the relief from such maps, it was abandoned. After the advent of the beautifully executed Dufour map, the method of side lighting again found its supporters.
In 1889, the largest figure in the Russian Geographical Society A. A. Tillo (1839-1899) compiled the First hypsometric map of European Russia on a scale of 60 versts per inch, covering the area in the south to the Crimea (except the Caucasus) and in the north to the latitude of Leningrad. The relief on this map is expressed by horizontal lines, individual steps of heights are expressed in two colors: low steps from 0-200 fathoms, after 20 fathoms, are painted with green paint; steps from 200 sazhens, after 50 sazhens, are painted with brown paint. In 1897, A. A. Tillo published a new hypsometric map of European Russia on a scale of 40 versts per inch, built on the same basis as the first one. The first hypsometric map of all European Russia was compiled by Yu. M. Shokalsky on a scale of 365 miles per inch, it is placed in the 54th volume encyclopedic dictionary Brockhaus.
Somewhat earlier, under the guidance of the military surveyor A.P. Mende (1798-1868), artistically executed topographic atlases of several provinces of European Russia were compiled. Mende's works were carried out on the initiative of the Geographical Society and published by him.
Despite the great development in the XIX century. degree measurements, triangulation and survey work, during this period, cartography owes its success not to astronomy and geodesy, but to the development of geographical sciences. In this regard, the 19th century significantly different from the 18th century, when cartography was driven forward almost exclusively by astronomers and surveyors.
feature of science in the 19th century. is, as noted above, an increasing specialization scientific disciplines. This specialization was also reflected in cartography by the appearance of all more so-called special maps - geological, soil, climatic, zoogeographic, phytogeographic, and, in later times, economic-geographic. Of the most major works it should be noted the geological map of Azerbaijan on a scale of 1:500,000 on 27 sheets (ed. 1894-1897); geological survey maps of European Russia on a scale of 60 and 160 versts per inch (ed. 1892 and 1897) and a number of others. Economic cartography received exceptionally great development in the 20th century.
It absorbed a very diverse flora and fauna: steppes, semi-deserts, alpine meadows, bears, lizards and reptiles. The capital of the state is the most beautiful city of Baku, which is recommended for tourists to visit.
The country has kept a large number of ancient cultural monuments: Old city, ruins ancient city Cabals and more. The most favorable tourist period starts from April and ends in October. Visitors to the country can purchase souvenirs and decorations.
Azerbaijan is famous for its national cuisine. Main Feature is the widespread use of lamb in combination with various spices or herbs. Tourists can also try dried fruits and sour milk dishes with herbs. It is worth visiting this truly historical and magnificent place.
