Summary edit

Description
中文(臺灣):烏山頂泥火山位於高雄市燕巢區,其形成與旗山斷層及泥岩地質有密切的關係。旗山斷層是一個東北-西南走向的逆斷層,其錯動使得岩層產生破裂,有利於水分滲入至地底下與泥岩和成泥漿,高壓氣體再沿著裂隙將泥漿噴出地表,堆積成泥火山。 烏山頂泥火山區最大的一座泥火山高約3.5公尺,坡度約為50度,是一座典型的噴泥錐。每隔數秒即噴發一次,濃稠的泥漿沿錐面流下,形成舌狀的泥流,可及的範圍達直徑70公尺。
English: Wushanding Mud Volcano Nature Reserve covers 3.88 hectares in Kaohsiung's Yanchao District. Known for its unique mud volcano scenery and desolate beauty.

The reserve currently has five volcanoes. The tallest and most active one is a dome-shaped mud-spewing vent. It displays constant geothermal activity, with mud bubbling and oozing out. Three other small ridge-shaped volcanoes can be found in close proximity to the tallest volcano, while the oldest volcano on the site is now extinct.

 The height of these five mud volcanoes varies. When standing next to the most active one, visitors can hear an extraterrestrial gurgling sound. Wushanding Mud Volcano Nature Reserve offers a variety of beguiling landforms created by mudflows, including dried flows and small craters.
