Magic Sheet 16 Stromboli — Map (OpenData)

Sheet 16 includes the submerged portions of the volcanic buildings of Stromboli and Panarea, belonging to the eastern sector of the Aeolian archipelago. This sector is affected by regional tectonic structures oriented towards SO-NE, which controlled the development of the two volcanic buildings. Stromboli is a steep andesitic-basaltic stratovolcano, mainly submarine (about 98 % of the entire range), consisting of the coalescence of two volcanic centers (Stromboli developed in the last 100 years and Strombolicchio, dated to about 200 thousand years), the whose base is located between 1400 and 2 700 m deep. Particular attention in terms of hazards geology must be lent to the side of Stromboli, where in the last 13 thousand years there have been 4 sector collapses, the last of which gave rise to the Sciara del Fuoco. The Panarea building is about 2 000 m tall and has a trunk-conical shape, linked to the presence of an extensive island platform up to about 150 m deep. Nowadays, Panarea is characterised by a local subsidence and degassing activities related to the presence of different fumarolic areas both on land and at sea. There are 4 critical points related to the Sciara del Fuoco, the Piscità Canal, the erosion areas and the leakage of fluids. CNR-IGAG
