The Yinggehai Basin (YGH) in the South China Sea is a Cenozoic, high-temperature, and high-pressure basin. Exploration development of natural gas resources YGH show that owing to diapir structures make formation pressure system complex, overpressure characteristics are obvious, prediction difficult, spatial distribution irregular, which severely restricts gas. To evaluate influence on overpress...

Mud volcanoes can be large and long lived geological structures that morphologically resemble magmatic volcanoes. Because of their capricious behaviour and their spectacular morphology and landscapes, mud volcanoes have attracted attention since antiquity. More recently, mud volcanoes have become the focus of extensive studies for natural science research, including geologists and biologists. M...

Diapirism has been discredited as a transport mechanism for magmas partly because diapirs seem to be unable to bring magmas to shallow crustal levels (< 10 km) and partly because recent developments in the theory of dyke propagation have shown that sufficiently wide dykes are able to efficiently transport felsic magmas through the crust. However, it is still unclear how felsic dykes grow to wid...
