Campi Flegrei (Phlegraean Fields) near Naples is now in ‘extremely dangerous’ state, say academic experts
Half a million people live on a sprawling volcano in Italy – andThe Campi Flegrei volcano may be less well-known than Vesuvius, but is “extremely dangerous”, study co-author Stefano Carlino told AFP.
The tens of thousands of small earthquakes that have taken place since the 1950s weakened the caldera, the basin at the top of the volcano.– published in Nature’s Communications Earth & Environment journal on Friday – found “parts of the volcano had been stretched nearly to breaking point”. The probability of a big eruption occurring is “very low”, Carlino said. “What is more likely are small eruptions.”
They measured the tremors and ground movements and compared them with previous eruptions of other, similar volcanoes.
