• Resumen

  • One of the most famous volcanoes may be misunderstood. A geologist believes the material feeding Mount Etna's cone is mostly water, so it is effectively a giant hot spring. But other geologists are unconvinced. Italy's Mount Etna is almost always active. It may have spewed 70 million tonnes of lava in 2011 alone. But what really puzzles Carmelo Ferlito at the University of Catania Italy, is that Etna also belches out more than 7 million tonnes of steam, carbon dioxide and sulphur dioxide every year
