The Caucasus is not only a mountain system and unique nature, but also a unique culture, the Caucasus Mountains are located between the Caspian, Black and Seas of Azov, between Europe and Asia, and serve as a kind of border between them.

The Caucasus is divided into two vast mountain range: Lesser Caucasus and Greater Caucasus.

Greater Caucasus

The Greater Caucasus is divided into several parts: Eastern Caucasus, Central Caucasus and Western Caucasus. The Greater Caucasus extends from northwest to southeast for approximately 1100 km, reaching its maximum width (180 km) in the vicinity of the Elbrus meridian.

The longest mountain range is the main Caucasian ridge or watershed ridge, to which many adjoin mountain ranges Greater Caucasus. This ridge runs through the entire Greater Caucasus, dividing it into northern and southern parts.

The Greater Caucasus is a mountain system with extensive glaciation, total number There are 2050 glaciers, and the area occupied by them is approximately 1400 km².

The highest and famous mountains Caucasus, Elbrus (5642 m) and Kazbek (5033 m) are also covered eternal ice. Most of glaciation of the Greater Caucasus is located in Central Caucasus, approximately 50-70%.

Lesser Caucasus

The length of the Lesser Caucasus is 600 km. It differs from the Greater Caucasus by its relatively small height mountain peaks(no more than 4000 m), a small area of ​​glaciation, and the absence of an axial ridge.

The Caucasus is a relatively young mountain range, formed during the Tertiary period, approximately 28 million years ago. The mountains contain very large deposits of oil (200 billion barrels) and gas and are composed of granite and gneiss.

The Caucasus is a wide deformation zone that was formed by the collision tectonic plates from the Alps to the Himalayas.

The Arabian plate, on which the Caucasus is located, is moving north towards Eurasian plate by several centimeters per year. This movement causes large earthquakes from 6 to 7 points, causing enormous damage.

Nature of the Caucasus

The Caucasus has its own unique fauna. In addition to the ubiquitous animals, it is also possible to meet wild boars, golden eagles, and mountain goats.

Unfortunately, many unique animals that lived in this territory were completely exterminated (Caspian tigers, Asiatic lions, Caucasian elk, Caucasian bison).

In the relatively small territory of the Caucasus, many cultures coexist. In ancient times, the Caucasus was a crossroads of great civilizations.

Iranian nomads had a significant influence on the culture and peoples of the Caucasus, bringing a new world religion– Zoroastrianism, as a consequence and a special worldview associated with this religion.

Iranian names have been preserved by some rivers and mountains of the Caucasus, even the name mountain system"Caucasus" comes from the name of Kavi-Kaus, the ruler of Ancient Iran.
