The supervolcano near Naples is more active than it has been for decades. There were over 70 tremors within 24 hours, 14 of which were clearly noticeable.
There are more than 50 eruption sources in the region, and experts fear an eruption. Since Sunday alone, around 90 earthquakes have been recorded there. There is also talk of the smell of sulfur. Even professional football was affected by the tremors in the Naples region of Italy on Monday (April 15) The first tremor had “only’ an amplitude of 1.5, three minutes later there was a violent shock with a magnitude of 3.7, which people in the neighboring city of Naples also clearly noticed. Many citizens reported a loud roar, which experts explain by the fact that the ground of the Phlegraean Fields functions like a gigantic loudspeaker that the earthquake waves cause to vibrate, which in turn creates sound waves. Even as residents once again flee their homes into the streets, Pozzuoli Mayor Enzo Buono asks people to avoid panic.
