The Geomorphic and Morphometries of Napag Mud Volcano in the South Eastern Area of Iran

The napag mud volcano, a cone-shaped hill in the coastal plain of oman sea and lyingwest to the port of chabahar and to the right of kahir-tang road , is one of the mostattractive geomorphological phenomena in sistan and baluchestan province. it isfamous for being the most prominent mud volcano in iran whose height amounts to 36meters above the sea level. because of methane (ch4) gas eruption and the formationof huge bubbles, it seems to be a unique one amongst other mud volcanoes in iran. theeruption of mud from this volcano usually occurs smoothly, but the outpouringsoccasionally become severe with eruption of viscous mud in great quantity.in this paper, attempts have been made to compensate for the absence of librarysources by utilizing field work, laboratory experiments along with years of experienceof and study on mud volcanoes.
