CAMPI FLEGREI: Dall'Ignimbrite Campana al Bradisismo di oggi!

#campiflegrei #pozzuoli #naples #volcano 🌋 PHLEGREAN FIELDS: Inside Europe's Most Monitored Volcano In this Geo Road Auto journey, I explore the Phlegraean Fields, following their geological history from the gigantic eruptions of the Campanian Ignimbrite and Neapolitan Yellow Tuff to the last eruption of Monte Nuovo in 1538. From the fumaroles of the Solfatara to the volcanic lakes of Averno, from the tuff cones of Capo Miseno and Nisida to the evidence of bradyseism that still raises and lowers the ground beneath Pozzuoli, let's try to understand how this unique volcanic system really works. Chapters 00:00 Intro 02:22 Why Campanian magmas are different from those of Lazio 04:10 What are the Phlegraean Fields really? A supervolcano... no thanks... 04:45 The two calderas 05:09 Previous activities 06:01 The Campanian Ignimbrite: the largest Italian eruption 10:21 The Neapolitan Yellow Tuff 11:01 Next activity: tuff cone, tuff ring, and maar 12:50 Monte Gauro, Capo Miseno, and Nisida 14:15 Astroni, Agnano, Monte Spina, and Lake Averno 15:25 Pozzuoli Solfatara and fumarolic activity 16:00 Monte Nuovo: the last eruption in 1538 21:20 What is bradyseism really? 24:32 Bradyseism today? 25:27 Current status of the volcano - monitoring 28:00 Will it erupt? 31:00 Will half of Europe disappear? 31:54 The risk of living inside an active caldera 34:59 Conclusions We'll talk about: Campanian Ignimbrite (VEI 7) Neapolitan Yellow Tuff Filegrean Fields Caldera Bradyseism Pozzuoli Solfatara Monte Nuovo Lake Averno Astroni Agnano Monte Spina Fumaroles and degassing Volcanic risk and monitoring A journey through geology, history, volcanology, incredible landscapes, and reflections on what it means to literally live inside an active volcano. As I explain at the end of the video, living with the Phlegraean Fields doesn't mean living in terror, but understanding the territory, knowing it, and preparing. 👍 Leave a like if you appreciate this type of geological fieldwork. 🔔 Subscribe to the channel for Geo Road's upcoming trips
