150 Earthquakes Rock Campi Flegrei Volcano near Naples
Largest Swarm in Four Decades Raises Concerns
4.4 Magnitude Earthquake Causes Minor Damage
A swarm of 150 earthquakes has rocked the Campi Flegrei volcano near Naples, Italy, last week. This is the largest swarm in four decades and has raised concerns about the potential for an eruption.
The largest earthquake in the swarm was a 4.4 magnitude event that struck on Monday evening. It caused mild damage in the town of Pozzuoli, including cracked walls and broken windows.
The Campi Flegrei volcano is a large dormant volcano that has a history of eruptions. The last eruption occurred in 1538, and scientists have been monitoring the volcano closely for signs of activity.
Recent research has shown that the crust of the Campi Flegrei volcano is becoming weaker and more prone to rupturing. This has led to concerns that the volcano could be entering a new period of activity.
Scientists are continuing to monitor the volcano closely, and they are urging residents to be prepared for the possibility of an eruption.
