The video got the netizens talking about the reason behind this occurrence. While someone guessed it could have been due to tectonic activity, another user claimed it was due to methane trapped in the earth. 

“Not really due to tectonic activity, but methane trapped in the earth gets released getting the wet layer to form a bubble, that is what seems to be happening here,” wrote a user. 

Refuting the methane theory, another user wrote, “If this was caused by methane, then this much methane could have caused breathing issues to the people standing and recording...It is unlikely to be methane, but who knows.”
