Etna grows, "fast" Geological processes

It is said that geological processes go very slow and that human life is not long enough to see the earth change, but this is not always the case, the world is changing before our very eyes, it is a mountain that has grown in a matter of few moths.

Etna, an active volcano if I can on the east coast of the Italian island of Sicily, Etna covers an area of ​​1,190 square kilometers, with a basal circumference of 140 kilometers, according to an Italian national institute of geophysics and volcanology this year. It has been especially intense for Etna, having 50 eruptions from February to August.

These eruptions have altered the southeastern crater of the volcano, increasing its height to three thousand three hundred and fifty-seven meters above sea level, if any of you are asking who was the brave man who plunged the active and unstable volcano to measure it, I tell you calm down To obtain this data, no geologist had to be sacrificed, the height was measured by the satellite player's degree with a margin of error of 3 meters.

The new height places Etna as the highest Italian mountain south of the Alps and as the highest active volcano on the Eurasian plate, although the activity has not ended so it is possible that Etna will continue to grow a few meters more in the next few months.
