Date and time. Nov 4, GMT. Guevara , R. Smyth , J. Raney , and J. Mud volcanoes along the northwest margin of the Orinoco Delta are part of a regional belt of soft sediment deformation and diapirism that formed in response to rapid foredeep sedimentation and subsequent tectonic compression along the Caribbean-South American plate boundary. Field studies of five mud volcanoes show that such structures consist of a central mound covered by active and inactive vents.

Steemit Feedback. Explore communities…. Why it there no volcanoes in Venezuela? Hello Steemit community, I hope you are very well. In this opportunity I come to show you why there are no volcanoes in Venezuela, If we analyze the internal structure of the space where the national territory is located, we are in an area suitable for the formation of a volcano, why do I say suitable? The Venezuelan territory is located in a zone of contact between plates, and there are 2, if not 3 tectonic plates: Nazca plate Plate of the Caribbean Plate of South America.

In these areas of contact usually intense volcanism is observed, produced by the collision between the plates, a process that affects the magma in the depths, by the pressures exerted on it and that forces this magma to ascend to the surface through of openings or chimneys present in the earth's crust.
