OK, I know that this stuff operates on many different fault systems, but what is going on the past couple days? Volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis, oh my.
Like the article says, Etna is usually doing something.
Its the volcanoes which are not "dead" but dormant which bear watching - like St. Helens and Vesuvius.
Etna is in Sicily. The only other two active volcanoes in Europe are Stromboli in the Liparian Islands off northern Sicily and Vesuvius in the Bay of Naples somewhat north.
I think I read somewhere that the ancient Greeks believed Hephaestos, the God of smiths had his shop under Etna and the fire came from his forge.
I was just saying the same thing on another thread.
Wars, rumors of wars, volcanic activity, earthquakes and tsunamis...what's next?
