Volcanics: A Study Of Colli Albani's Volcano

First of all, volcanic eruptions are caused by changes in the Earth’s crust. Just outside Rome, there are volcanic hills called Colli Albani. Below Colli Albani, the crust has been moving, allowing magma flow up to the magma chamber. Scientists say Colli Albani has a pattern of eruptions with about 31,000 years between each one. The most recent eruption was approximately 36,000 years ago. This means, and scientists say, it is due for an eruption soon. Volcanic eruptions are caused by many different geo processes. In the article “The hills are alive, warns study of volcanic activity near Rome” Scientific American says that Colli Albani’s activity is caused by crust movement. Scientific American states, “Colli Albani’s eruption can be explained
