This paper describes the most important geochemical and petrological characteristics of the Plio-Quaternary volcanism in Italy, with the aims of (i) clarifying the first-order processes of magma genesis and evolution and (ii) providing constraints for models ...

The eruption of Vesuvius of 79 AD caused extensive destructions all over the Campanian area, engulfing the cities of Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplonti and Stabiae. The eruption followed a long quiescence period and the inhabitants of the area were surprised by ...

<p>This paper is about submarine volcanism. More specifically Near the Mantle Electromagnetic and Tomography (MELT) Experiment, seamounts form and off-axis lava flows occur in a zone that extends farther to the west of the East Pacific Rise than to the east, ...

In December 1963 rockfalls from Little Tahoma Peak on the east side of Mount Rainier volcano fell onto Einmons Glacier and formed avalanches of rock debris that traveled about 4 miles down the glacier and the White River valley. In this distance, the rock ...
