Mud volcanoes are prevalent along the Makran coastal region and two of them are described here, Borborok and Pirgel. They form marked geomorphology rising several tens of metres above the surrounding plains and erupt mud of varying viscosities, colour and composition; associated gas, mainly carbon dioxide with some methane that causes bubbles to form. Their origin is attributed to a dewatering phenomenon associated with the subduction of the Oman Sea plate beneath Eurasia.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
