Discovery on Lake Fusaro: Mysterious Villa from Roman Age appeared!
am Fusaro Lake, not far from Naples, was made a remarkable discovery: the remains of a luxurious villa from the Roman period came to the fore due to the phenomenon of the Bradysismos, slow earthquakes. The mayor of Bacoli, Josi Gerardo della Ragione, informed via Facebook about this find, which was made possible by the continuing volcanic activity in the region. The ruins indicate a villa with impressive thermal systems and illustrate the Roman history of the area.
The Fusaro Lake is part of the Phlegraian fields, an active super volcano, the last major eruption took place 15,000 years ago. This geological formation shows a flat boiler shape that differs from the typical volcanoes. A growing number of small earthquakes has been registered in recent years, which documents the worrying development of volcanic activities. Since 2005 the soil has increased in this region by 138 centimeters, 20 centimeters of it alone.
volcanic activities and their consequences
The increased volcanic activity not only shifted the coastline, but also brought the foundations of the villa to light. In the coastal town of Pozzuoli, which is part of the Phlegraian fields, the earth rises by about 10 centimeters a year. Part of the volcanic structure has bloated so much that cracks in the earth's crust threaten. These developments led to an increased assessment of the probability of a fatal outbreak. Some scientists and local surveillance authorities see the assessment that a big outbreak could be imminent, but skeptical.
The danger level of the Italian authorities is currently at yellow, which is classified as the second lower level. Nevertheless, experts fear that a smaller outbreak could have devastating consequences for the almost 500,000 people in the Naples metropolitan region. A greater outbreak, depending on its strength, could have far -reaching consequences for Europe and the world.
The risk of a supervulcan eruption
According to the expertise of scientists, a break from the Supervulkan Campi Flegrei could radically change the Naples region. In the worst case, Mastrolorenzo estimates that an eruption would be ten times stronger than the well-known Vesuvius outbreak of 79 AD, which destroyed Pompeii. A super eruption of the strength VEI 7 could completely destroy the metropolitan region, while an even stronger eruption (VEI 8) could produce ash clouds that would even even pull over hundreds of kilometers, possibly even over the Alps. This would have an immense impact on agriculture, economy and the climate in Europe.
Nevertheless, the majority of researchers remain that such a scenario is currently considered unlikely. There are signs that the phlegraic fields are preparing for an eruption, as the latest earthquakes and soil surveys show. A smaller outbreak, which resembles Monte Nuovo in 1538, is considered more likely, but could remain within a limited framework with local effects. Francesca Bianco, an expert in this area, also reports that there is currently no evidence that Magma is near the earth's surface.
However,The topic remains sensitive and requires constant observation in order to ensure the safety of the population and the preservation of the cultural heritage in this historically and geologically important region. While the remains of the ancient villa invite you to new research, the expected danger from the supervulcan remains a pressing problem for the region.
