Abstract

The Tovuzchay basin, located on the northeastern slope of the Lesser Caucasus, is surrounded by the Kura River from the north, the Agstafachay basin from the west and the Zayamchay basin from the east. The relief of the basin has an ancient history of development and was formed under the influence of endodynamic processes together with the geological structure. The relief, geological and geomorphological structure of the area were studied in detail by V. Khain, Sh. Azizbekov, L. Leontiev, M. Kashgai and other researchers. Relief plays an important role in determining the direction of land use as the main component of ecosystems and geosystems, and also has a significant impact on human economic activity. The study of relief slope, degree of fragmentation, slope direction, slope and other factors is a morphometric analysis of the terrain, and plasticity maps based on them serve as the basis for agroecological assessment of lands.
