A mud volcano is an Earth surface formation created by geo-excreted solids, liquids, and gases. The temperature of the excreted material is much cooler than that of a lava volcano. The excreted material is typically a slurry of fine solids suspended in liquids, including acidic or saline water and hydrocarbon fluids. The gases released are usually methane, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.
