2 Basic Info http://volcanoes6.wikispaces.com/Stromboli http://www.worldatlas.com/webimage/countrys/europe/aeolian.htm o Stratovolcano o Sciara del Fucco o “Stream of Fire” o 2 km in Diameter o Elevation: 924 m o Aeolian Islands o African Plate and Eurasian Plate Subduction Zone

3 Tectonics http://geology.com/volcanoes/stromboli/

4 Mount Etna Theory: a microplate called the Ionian Plate broke and pushed into the Eurasian Plate, creating an opening in the Earth connecting to the mantle http://geology.com/volcanoes/etna/

5 Continued Hawaiian volcanoes are: - Mostly basaltic - Mafic magma - On top of a hot spot It is strange that Mt. Etna and Stromboli are so basaltic and have mafic magma

6 Eruptions Active Eruptions for 2,000+ years Intervals from minutes to hours daily Major Eruptions: 1919, 1930, 2003 Strombolian

7 “Lighthouse of the Mediterranean” http://www.meteoweb.eu/2014/08/isole-eolie-stromboli-leruzione-e-il-vulcano-tra-storia-miti-e-leggende/309832/

8 Rocks and Deposits o Major rocks: o Potassium rich basalt and andesite o Minor rocks: o Tephrite basanite

9 Interesting info In Jules Verne’s novel Journey to the Center of the Earth (Voyage au Centre de la Terre), Axel and Otto Lidenbrock emerge from their subterranean journey from the volcano on Stromboli Stromboli the movie!

11 Active monitoring http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S001379520500052 9 New integrated geodetic monitoring system at Stromboli volcano =Permanent GPS Stations Back up Systems “Real-time Monitoring”
