萬丹泥火山爆發
Pingtung Mud Volcano Erupts
A volcano has erupted in southern Taiwan.
It's actually a mud volcano (泥火山).
A mud volcano is not the same as a volcano.
Mud volcanos are made by liquid and gases from the earth.
泥火山是地下液體或氣體噴發後留下來的物質,堆疊成一個圓錐形的泥尖頂。
Mud volcanos do not have lava (岩漿).
And mud volcanos do not get as hot as a volcano.
When mud volcanos erupt, lots of mud and gas come out.
And that's what happened in Pingtun...
