Geological Characteristics of Mud Volcanoes and Diapirs in the Northern Continental Margin of the South China Sea: Implications for the Mechanisms Controlling the Genesis of Fluid Leakage Structures

<div>(a) Seismic profile and (b) the interpreted seismic profile over the Southwest Taiwan Basin. Five mud diapirs are present in this profile, and the two on the right have pierced through thick sediments and are exposed at the seafloor, and the surrounding rock is uplifted, obviously (modified from [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2021/5519264/#B39">39</a>]).</div>
