In which of the following countries the recently erupted Campi Flegrei volcanic system is located?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Recently, the strongest earthquake to hit Italy’s Campi Flegrei supervolcano region in decades struck.
About Campi Flegrei:
Campi Flegrei (also known as Phlegrean Fields) is an active volcanic area near Naples, Italy.
Unlike Mount Vesuvius, it is not a single volcano but a volcanic system with several centers within a caldera (a depression formed when magma chambers empty and the volcano’s roof collapses).
It formed 39,000 years ago after an eruption emptied it of magma, and this event may have contributed to the Neanderthal extinction.
About one-third of the caldera lies under the Tyrrhenian Sea.
Its last major eruption was in 1538, forming the Monte Nuovo mountain.
Scientists classify Campi Flegrei as a supervolcano with the potential for worldwide effects during eruptions.
