Etna pictured during a previous eruption. Photo: Controluce/AFP When and how seriously will Italy's Mount Etna next erupt? Two volcanologists explain how they're using crystals to lea more about what's going on in the depths of Europe's most active volcano. Predicting when a volcano is going to explode is a very difficult task. Every volcano has its own unique and complex maze of tunnels that feed magma to the surface. So even when we detect volcanic activity, it’s very hard to know when the magma will make its way through these tunnels and erupt. But there’s now a way to assess this process using crystals that grow inside volcanoes and act like a record of its eruption. Our latest study on crystals from Mount Etna in Italy has shown that if new magma arrives in chambers 10km below Etna’s surface, an eruption can follow within two weeks. No wonder the Roman poet Lucretius said Etna “rages with flames from th’ lowest pit of Hell”. Geologists used to think of the magma below volcanoes as being in a large single chamber, but mode research shows that feeding systems contain many connected compartments with complex transport routes. We also know what when new magma r, ...ادامه مطلب
