Reason for New Island in Pakistan because of Earthquake

Pakistan witnessed one of the worst and powerful earthquake recently taking lives of 100s of people and thousands injured. As houses crippled due to this powerful earthquake, it caused a new island like formation body in the waters of the Indian Ocean, just off the Pakistan's Gwadar coastline.


The local government office in Gwadar released these images that show people walking on the newly formed island. According to Pakistan's navy geologist Mohammed Danish, the mass was about 60 feet (18 meters) high, 100 feet (30 meters) wide and 250 feet (76 meters) long, making it a little wider than a tennis court and slightly shorter than a football field.


Seismologists suspect the island is a temporary formation resulting from a "mud volcano," a jet of mud, sand and water that gushed to the surface as the temblor churned and pressurized that slurry under the ocean floor.
