Drilling Might Be Getting a Bad Rap For Indonesia's Ongoing "Mud Volcano"

davide-nature writes "The freakish event has been blamed on a company that was drilling for natural gas nearby. But scientists have found a rock formation deep below the surface and shaped like a parabolic antenna. It could have focused seismic waves from an earthquake that occurred shortly before the eruption, and onto a clay layer. The clay then liquefied and somehow found its way to the surface."

Finding evidence of one contributory factor is not the same as disproving all other factors.
