Zalzala Koh
Zalzala Koh (''Earthquake Mountain'') or Zalzala Jazeera (''Earthquake Island'') is a small island off the coast of the port city of Gwadar, Balochistan, Pakistan which appeared on 24 September 2013 following an earthquake. As predicted by many geologists, the island has started to resubmerge, with satellite images indicating the island has sunk 10 feet into the sea since its initial appearance.〔http://www.brecorder.com/pakistan/general-news/141463-mud-island-in-balochistan-is-sinking.html〕 ==Formation== Zalzala Koh may be a mud volcano,〔("Pakistan earthquake creates new island, 'mud volcano to blame'" ), NBC News.〕 located in the Arabian Sea offshore of Gwadar in Balochistan, Pakistan. It rose out of the water during a 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck the same province on 24 September 2013. Ali Rashid Tabriz, the head of Pakistan’s National Institute of Oceanography, said that the surfacing of the island had been caused by an emission of methane gas on the seabed.
