Mariana Mud Volcanoes
Mud volcanoes in the Mariana fore-arc are a hydrothermal geologic landform that erupt slurries of mud, water, and gas. There are at least 10 mud volcanoes in the Mariana fore-arc that are actively erupting, including the recently studied Conical, Yinazao, Fantagisna (informally known as Celestial seamount), Asut Tesoro (formerly Big Blue), and South Chamorro serpentinite mud volcanoes. These mud volcanoes erupt a unique serpentinite mud composition that is related to the geologic setting in which they have formed. Serpentinite mud is the product of mantle metasomatism due to subduction zone metamorphism and slab dehydration. As a result, the serpentinite mud that erupts from these mud volcanoes often contains pieces of mantle peridotite material that has not fully altered during the serpen
