$The ‘Salse’ (or mud volcanoes) are eruptions of cold mud produced by rising sea water mixed with mainly gaseous hydrocarbons (methane) and a small number of liquid ones (oil), which cross faults and fractures in the earth as they rise to the surface, dissolving the clay present and creating the typical cone or spring-like formations. The name “Salsa” derives from the high salt content of the mud, a reminder that what is now the sea covered the Po Valley up to 1 million years ago. The salt makes the land around the mud volcanoes, particularly barren and arid. The Salse are considered “pseudo-volcanoes” as they have features similar to volcanoes but a completely different origin since they are not connected to the magma and are completely cold.$
