In this chapter, the origin of mud volcanoes in the Black Sea region is considered. This question has been debated for more than two centuries. Voskoboynikov and Gur’iev ( 1832 ) were the first researchers to study the Taman mud volcanoes; they proposed that the existence of mud volcanoes could be explained by the increasing pressure of gases due to ...

Mud volcanoes are frequently encountered geo-structures at active and passive continental margins. In contrast to magmatic volcanoes, mud volcanoes are marine or terrestrial, topographic elevation built from vertically rising fluidized mud or mud breccia. Commonly, these structures have a crater, hummocky rim, and caldera. Mud volcanism is triggered by

Earthquake triggering of mud volcanoes
Marine and Petroleum Geology, 2009Mud volcanoes sometimes erupt within days after nearby earthquakes. The number of such nearly coincident events is larger than would be expected by chance and the eruptions are thus assumed to be triggered by earthquakes. Here we compile observations of the response of mud volcanoes and other geologic systems (earthquakes, volcanoes, liquefaction ...

Mud volcanoes discovered offshore Sicily
Marine Geology, 2003Abstract Numerous active mud volcanoes have been recognized for the first time from seismic reflection and sidescan surveys carried out in 2002 over the Hyblean–Malta Plateau, 10 miles from the southern coast of Sicily (Southern Italy, Mediterranean Sea), along faults adjacent to the Scicli fracture zone.

The article discusses regularities in the distribution of mud volcanoes and characterizes most important mud volcanic provinces of the world. A new morphogenetic classification of mud volcanoes substantiated by results of their study in the Crimean–Caucasian and West Turkmenian regions is proposed.

Bubbling gases from the mud volcanoes of Trinidad and gases associated with oil in deeper reservoirs were sampled and analyzed to understand their possible relationships. Numerous geochemical analyses were performed on the gas samples. The chemical concentrations of organic compounds, CO2, and noble gases (from He to Xe) were measured, and isotopic ...

Marine-geologic investigations on the Arabian Sea by Bundesanstalt fur Geowissenschaften und Rohstoffe (BGR) in 1995 and 1998, and land expeditions in 1998 and 1999 to the coastal regions of the Makran Desert/Pakistan have extended the knowledge of the aerial distribution of mud volcanoes.

Gas Emissions from Mud Volcanoes
2005There are about 1,000 mud volcanoes on land and 5,500 offshore — mostly in deep water. Activity varies between gentle emissions and violent eruptions accompanied by the release of enormous volumes of gas — mainly (85%+) methane and carbon dioxide. Global gas emissions are provisionally estimated to exceed 27 billion cubic metres per year, of which more
