Abstract
Mud volcanism presents one of the most interesting and unusual phenomena, with periodical eruptions of large amounts of gases (mainly hydrocarbons) and breccia with inclusions of rock fragments from small sizes up to blocks of several meters. Eruption products accumulate near the orifice and crater volcano cone. The size of the volcano cone depends on the eruption frequency and character of the erupted material
