Satellite View of Stromboli's New Eruption in Italy. You Can See a River of Lava Flowing to the Ocean - by spacewriter
Stromboli created its own island, which is part of the Aeolian island chain in the Mediterranean. It rises up from a thousand meters below the surface of the Tyrrhenian Sea and towers up about 924 meters above sea level. Stromboli is long-lived. It has been continuously active for at least 2,000 years, and ancient mariners used it as a lighthouse. That’s because it erupted often. People could see the glow from those outbursts for miles across the open water.
The subduction action gives Stromboli fuel for its eruptions. It first began building up about 200,000 years ago, building up an ancient volcano called Strombolicchio. That eventually eroded away, and about 160,000 years ago, the current Stromboli began erupting and forming its island. The mountain today is a “stratovolcano”, built up by the nearly constant eruptions.When Stromboli erupts, it follows a pattern that geologists call “Strombolian”.
