A mudpot in geology is an opening in the ground, particularly occurring where hot gases and fluids are reaching the surface, where chemical and mechanical weathering of the rock and sediments causes a bubbling and spitting cauldron of fine particle mud to appear. Areas in Iceland, and in Yellowstone, USA, are notable mudpot occurrences and are associated with the proximity of magmatic bodies to the surface.
