Mud volcano in Tabin not precursor to bigger quake, says geologist

KOTA KINABALU: A mud volcano eruption at Sabah's Tabin Wildlife Sanctuary in Lahad Datu is a natural seismic occurrence and is no cause for concern, says geologist Prof Dr Felix Tongkul.

"It erupts at regular intervals when mud pressure inside the earth increases. Minor shakes from earthquakes nearby may trigger this eruption.
