#Stromboli is one of the most active #volcanoes in the #world and has shown nearly continuous #activity for at least 2,000 years. Typically, this is expressed through regular #explosions occurring every few minutes to hours, and larger #eruptions during which glowing fragments of #lava, #scoria, and #ash are ejected. This characteristic behavior is referred to as #strombolian#activity. In addition to this continuous activity, there are effusive #eruptions at irregular intervals, during which #lava flows. These lava flows usually move over the #Sciara del Fuoco, a steep, horseshoe-shaped depression on the northwest side of the #volcano that formed about 6,000 years ago. These lava flows now also regularly reach the #sea, but generally run away from inhabited areas and are therefore considered less dangerous."
