Gatan Mud Volcanoes, Oman Sea Coast in Southwestern Hormozgan, Iran
Iran's mud volcanoes are clearly visible on the coastal plains of the Oman and Caspian Seas. There are 30 Gatan Mud Volcanoes located in the southeast of Iran: 15 of which are located between Jask and Minab in Hormozgan province, nine are between Chabahar and Jask Ports, and another six are between Chabahar and the Iran-Pakistan border in Sistan and Balouchestan Province. After some studies and...
متن کاملEarthquake triggering of mud volcanoes
Mud 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, ground water, and geysers) to earthquakes. The ...
متن کاملTotal mercury in sediments from mud volcanoes in Gulf of Cadiz.
Mercury emissions into the environment have both natural and anthropogenic sources. Natural sources include volcanic activity, erosion of mineral deposits (the earth’s crust contains 0.5 parts per million of mercury) (Gochfeld, 2003; Gustin, 2003), association with hydrocarbons (Miedaner et al., 2005; Wilhelm et al., 2006), and volatilization from the oceans, whereas man related sources include...
متن کاملSpatial variations of community structures and methane cycling across a transect of Lei-Gong-Hou mud volcanoes in eastern Taiwan
This study analyzed cored sediments retrieved from sites distributed across a transect of the Lei-Gong-Hou mud volcanoes in eastern Taiwan to uncover the spatial distributions of biogeochemical processes and community assemblages involved in methane cycling. The profiles of methane concentration and carbon isotopic composition revealed various orders of the predominance of specific methane-rela...
