How Stromboli “digests” The Eurasian plate, located on the edge of the Tyrrhenian Sea, pushes up against and slides over the African plate, which is on the border of the Mediterranean Sea. Crappy magnifying glass Stromboli!!! Eurasian Plate African Plate
Facts about Stromboli {YummY!!!} Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and has been erupting almost continuously since 1932. Because it has been active for much of the last 2,000 years and its eruptions are visible for long distances at night, it is known as the "Lighthouse of the Mediterranean". Although it isn’t in the top ten, it is among the world's most visited volcanoes. Stromboli is widely known for its spectacular eruptions which jet fountains of molten rock from its lava-filled center. Because these eruptions are so distinctive and well known, geologists use the word "Strombolian" to clearly describe similar eruptive activity at other volcanoes. Stromboli forms the northeastern-most of the Aeolian islands. Its base begins over 1000 meters below the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea and it rises to an elevation of 924 meters above sea level.
More delicious facts:P • The plates surrounding Stromboli (African and Eurasian) are an example of a convergent fault. As the two push against each other, the African plate slides under and the Eurasian plate is lifted as it rests atop its neighbor. • Like Mount Etna on the island of Sicily, Stromboli is a part of the Calabrian volcanic arc. The volcanoes of the Calabrian arc are associated with the subduction of the African tectonic plate under the Eurasian plate. Stromboli is located on a NE-SW trending fault system, but the mechanisms which feed the volcano’s magma chamber, and their relationship to the fault system, are poorly understood by scientists and volcano experts. • The current eruptive vents are located at the top of the Sciara del Fuoco (Stream of Fire), a large collapse scar on the northwest side of the island which formed about 5,000 years ago.
Is it food poisoning, or something much more spectacular and dangerous? • Activity at Stromboli has been recorded by historians for more than 1,000 years, and varies from mild degassing to lava flows to violent explosive eruptions. Records from 1907 indicate that one explosion was strong enough to shatter windows in the island’s villages, and strong explosions in 1930 were associated with an earthquake that also created a small tsunami. The most recent eruption began in 1932, and has continued essentially uninterrupted since then.
At Boiling Point: the stovetop of this extreme kitchen • The largest eruption of the last hundred years occurred in 1930, and resulted in the deaths of several people and the destruction of a number of houses by flying volcanic bombs. The exact records (number of fatalities, date, damage, and Richter measurements) are unknown. Freshman Class of 2015 Trojan Nite 2011 FOR THE WIN!!!!!!!
Mr.Weidertiskindakrazy • So I’ve noticed that on the requirements sheet, Mr.Weidert has a bullet stating “Current location ofyour fault/volcano on a map of the Earth”. I’m notso sure what this is supposed to mean; is it commonfor volcanoes to jump around from country tocountry? Just wandering. Thanks. • P.s. Stromboli is still on an island right off the coastof Italy, just like it has been for 200,000+ years.
