Mazuku
text:
In geology, a mazuku (Swahili word for "evil wind") is a pocket of carbon dioxide-rich air that can be lethal to any human or animal life inside. Mazuku is created when carbon dioxide accumulates in pockets low to the ground. CO2 is denser than air, which causes it to flow downhill, hugging the ground like a low fog, and is also undetectable by human olfactory or visual senses in most conditions. Mazukus can be related to volcanic activity or a natural disaster known as a limnic eruption. In the
