California line as reported from B
Oentro, California, has Introduced
those "little brothers o f Vesuvius” to
some persons for the first time, and
may have left tbs impression that this
portion o f the country is subject to
major volcanic outbreaks. A bulletin
Issued tram tbs Washington head
quarter» o f tbs National Geographic
society explains Just what mud vol
canos» are amt te ll» something o f their
wide distribution around the world.
"Th e term "volcano’ Is in n way a
misnomer fo r these little mounds o f
boiling mad—a fact that Is recognised
sometimes by calling them "mud gey-
sen ,’ " says the bulletin.' "Most o f
them, In tbo matter o f also, bear to
true volcanoes tbs relation o f the
proverbial molehill to the mountain.
And while "volcano,* with the picture
that It brings up o f demolished and
buried dries, naturally Inspires some
thing o f awe, "mud volcanoes,’ when
they are not mildly interesting na
tural phenomena, are little more than
nuisances.
"L ik e geysers, mud vo lca n o« are
usually found In regions that have
■been sohjeet to true volcanic action
within recent geologic tiroes.
But
this Is not always true; and ‘recent’
In this sense may mean many thou
sands o f yean. In the case o f gey-
sen, water gathers In fissures, a por
tion o f w h o « walls are hot, steam
form s after a time and tba column o f
water Is expelled. In the ca n of mud
volcanoes, s much SB iH er quantity of
water la involved. It IS usually turned
completely Into steam which f o r e « its
way through fins material and forms
hot mud. In typical mad volcanoes,
the soft mud Is forced out with llttlo
violence through the top o f u small
mound and flows down over the sides.
Occasionally, however, a heavy column
o f mud traps the steam for a con
siderable period, which Is ended by s
geyser-llke eruption that may throw
the soft material and chunks o f tbo
burdened cone high fan the air.
“Mud volcanoes are teach more com
mon than geysers. The only places la
which geysers exist in appreciable
numbers are the Yellowstone National
Park—the largest and most Important
geyser region In the world—Iceland,
the Malay archipelago, and the North
Island o f New Zealand. Bat mod vol
c a n o « are scattered around the world.
TO the eastward they sure lin t en
countered In Iceland. In Europe they
are found In Sicily, the mainland o f
Italy and the Russian Crim ea; In Asia
they occur at Baku, on Islands In tbs
Bay o f Bengal and on the Malay
Archipelago; farther Bast they are
found to N eb Zealand. In the Wes
tern Hemisphere they are found In
Colombia. In the Yellowstone Park.
Just south o f the Mexican-Cullfornla
line In the delta o f the Colorado river,
find a few miles to the north o f the
eastern shore o f the Salton aea, in the
Imperial valley."
