A mud volcano or mud dome is a landform created by the eruption of mud or slurries, water and gases [1][2][3]. Several geological processes may cause the formation of mud volcanoes. Mud volcanoes are not true igneousvolcanoes as they do not produce lava and are not necessarily driven by magmatic activity. The Earth continuously exudes a mud-like substance, which may sometimes be referred to as a "mud volcano". Mud volcanoes may range in size from merely 1 or 2 meters high and 1 or 2 meters wide, to 700 meters high and 10 kilometers wide.[4] Smaller mud exudations are sometimes referred to as mud-pots.
