Mud volcano Berca buzau romania
Mud volcanoes are formations created by natural gas from more than 3,000 meters deep, passing through a clay soil, in combination with water from groundwater. Push gas to the surface water mixed with clay. Mud formed at the surface and leave them in those places, dry in the air, forming cone-like structures some volcanoes. Mud out to the surface is cold, as coming from layers of clay.
We know the world in total about 1,100 mud volcanoes. In Europe very few mud volcanoes on the continent, such as those in Azerbaijan, but many exist as large, such as eg mud volcanoes in the waters of Norway, the Caspian Sea and the Barents. Outside Europe, similar phenomena can be observed in Siberia, Australia and the Caribbean island of Trinidad.
A very serious current eruption of a mud volcanoes, which took place on May 29, 2006, occurs in eastern Java island (Indonesia) in Sidoarjo town, located 20 km south of Surabaya city airs. Eruption increased with time, reaching in November 2006 to 125,000 m³ of mud a day.
In Romania, the most important is the location of Buzau County (see also Article Reserve mud volcanoes). At a much lower scale, but it is present in other regions of Romania, and Moldova and the Transylvanian Plateau Plateau.
