| Definitionskos:definition | An annular lowland around the base of a MUD VOLCANO. Kopf (2002) suggested these types of Depressions form after mud-volcano activity has ceased and dewatering occurs, resulting in subsidence around the structure. Alternatively, Somoza et al., (2002) proposed they could also be caused by erosional bottom currents that are deflected by the mud volcano cone. |
