The country's volcanism is due chiefly to the presence, a short distance to the south, of the boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the African Plate. The magma erupted by Italy's volcanoes is thought to result from the upward forcing of rocks melted by the subduction of one plate below another. Three main clusters of volcanism exist: a line of volcanic centres running northwest along the central part of the Italian mainland (see: Campanian volcanic arc); a cluster in the northeast of Sicily; and another cluster around the Mediterranean island of Pantelleria. ==Active volcanoes== Three of Italy's volcanoes have erupted in the last hundred years: * Mount Etna, on Sicily (continuous activity) * Stromboli, one of the Aeolian Islands (continuous activity) * Mount Vesuvius, near Naples (last erupted in 1944); the only active volcano in mainland Europe. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Volcanology of Italy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
