Mazuku

Okay, so have you ever heard of a volcano? It's a big mountain that sometimes shoots out hot, melted rock called lava. Well, sometimes when a volcano is sleeping (or not erupting), gases can still come out of the ground. Mazuku is one of these gases, and it can come out of the ground near a volcano in a place called a vent.

Mazuku is a special gas, called carbon dioxide, which plants and animals use to breathe. But, if there is too much of this gas in the air, it can be harmful to living things, kind of like how too much candy can be bad for you. That's why sometimes people put up warning signs around vents where mazuku is coming out, so that people and animals can stay away from it.

So, to sum it up, mazuku is a gas that comes out of the ground near a volcano, called a vent, and it's made of a gas called carbon dioxide that can be harmful if there's too much of it in the air.
