Figure 1. Map of northwestern Caucasus mud volcano location. 1 - active
mud volcanoes; 2 - passive mud volcanoes (stabilized); 3 - paleo volcanoes;
4 - mud volcano provinces: I - Kerch-Taman, II - Indol-Kuban, III - Eastern
Black Sea (Tuapse), IV - Caucasus; 5 - longitudinal (Caucasus general strike) faults:

Tuapse depression (deformation areas with negative distortion, areas of Miocene
complex discontinuities coinciding with Maikopian diapirs bodies are shown in pink color;
lettuce-green color indicates the zone of Miocene complex dilatancy or positive distortions).
