ΤΡΟΜΟΣ: Activated the volcano of Rome?

A volcano outside of Rome, which scientists consider to be…
he was gone, began to again signs of activity!
The Collie Albany, ny (Colli Albani) are a volcanic group of hills located 30 kilometres from the centre of Rome. There are no historical records of eruptions, so that in a very long time believed that he was gone.
Now, the researchers reported in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, that the Colli Albani was always there, just don’t break out often. In fact, entering into a phase of eruptions each 31.000 years, no less!
The team of researchers, led by volcanologist Fabrizio Mara (Fabrizio Marra) of the National Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology of Rome, made ground-based observations, and analyzed satellite data to monitor the recent activity of the Colli Albani.
An analysis of rocks from the volcano revealed a series of explosions of the past, with the most recent before 36,000 years.
Now, the ground beneath the volcano is inflated, it is rising by 2 mm per year, at the points where it comes out and steam. During the last 200,000 years, the region has grown by 50 meters. This suggests that the magma enters in the tunnels below the volcano.
So far, these changes have been manifest in a swarm of earthquakes around Rome, which lasted from 1991 to 1995. Another sign was a small jet of steam, which appeared on a road near the Fiumicino airport in 2013.
Given the cycle of 31.000 years, the Colli Albani has undoubtedly delayed for an explosion, but it won’t happen suddenly. It is likely to take another 1000 years to create the pressure that will cause the explosion. Until then, there may be small seismic phenomena. The fact is, however, that the volcano starts to “roar”.
