Description
What makes the perfect mudpot?
A vat of bubbling mud in Lassen Volcanic National Park in California contains the perfect mix of ingredients: hot gases, water, volcanic rock, minerals, acid and thermophiles - heat-loving microorganisms too small to be seen by the naked eye. Thermophiles consume some of the gases and help convert them into sulfuric acid which breaks down rock to form clay, which mixes with water to create opaque bubbling mudpots.
