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 of Southwest Taiwan Basin. Four mud volcanoes have developed on the mud diapir, and the surrounding rock is uplifted, mildly. Some fluid conduits can be noted on the profile (modified from [<a href="/journals/geofluids/2021/5519264/#B39">39</a>]).</div>
