Year: 2022

Researchers’ views on the causes of mud volcanism have evolved over time. In the early stages, mud volcanoes were considered common to volcanoes. Later, they began to be associated with processes in sedimentary basins, although attempts to link mud volcanism with magmatic manifestations and replenishment of juvenile components still exist. Findings of mercury, native gold, silver, sulfur, copper, iron and accessory minerals in the products of mud volcanoes in recent years allow a number of resea
