Maquinna (volcano)
Maquinna is an active submarine mud volcano on the Coast of British Columbia, Canada, located 16-18 kilometers west of Vancouver Island. It rises approximately above the mean level of the northeastern Pacific Ocean and lies directly along the southern expression of the left laterial, strike slip Nootka Fault.
==Geology==
Maquinna is one of the few mud volcanoes documented in the northeast Pacific. It is across, contains a breached caldera and two small summit craters.〔http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2001AGUFMOS12B0428R ''Discovery of an Active Submarine Mud Volcano Along the Nootka Fault West of Vancouver Island'', American Geophysical Union, Fall Meeting 2001〕
Scientific studies of Maquinna showed strong, co-registered thermal, particulate, and unusual oxygen that extends above the volcano, indicating a water column. This data suggests the volcano is actively venting warm hydrothermal fluids.〔
The formation of Maquinna is thought to be high sediment accumulation and horizontal tectonic compression associated with accretionary prism formation adjacent to the west coast of Vancouver Island supporting overpressuring of fluids at depth along the Nootka Fault zone, resulting the formation of Maquinna.〔
