  1. Mud Volcanoes In Pakistan By: Shahnoor Ahmed, Rayyan Siddiqui & Emaad Sheikh

  2. How are they formed Mud volcanoes are formed as a result of the increase in tectonic activity or a build up of pressure under the surface of the Earth. At first, they form little bulges and later on, become cones.

  3. Features of a Mud Volcano The mud volcano is a conical structure; its sides are rather steep. Their temperatures can go as low as freezing point of certain materials. Approximately 1,100 mud volcanoes have been identified on land and in shallow water.

  4. Eruption…! Mud volcanoes erupt in a rather peculiar way. Instead of releasing lava, they release gases, like hydrocarbon, and sometimes spew tonnes of mud metres into the air.
