(a) Seismic profile showing the BSRs observed in the vicinity of a mud volcano developed offshore of southwestern Taiwan (modified from Liu et al. [97]). (b) Cold seep vents and gas hydrates exposed on the seafloor at site F on the Formosa Ridge [47]. (c) Seismic profile showing the gas seepage and BSRs crossing site F on the Formosa Ridge [124]. (d) Seismic profile showing the gas seepage and BSRs on Pointer Ridge [126]. (e) Gas plume detected on Pointer Ridge [126]. Fault PR is the Pointer Ridge fault.
