Deep-Seated Spreading Model Tested on Etna Mount with FEM
Publié en 2008
Structural, morphological and ground deformation studies suggest that the eastern flank of Mt. Etna (eastern Sicily) is spreading seaward. According to the deep-seated spreading model, both the volcanic edifice and its uppermost basement are spreading eastwards because of magma inflation processes related to a dike complex located at a depth between the summit craters and the Valle del Bove.
In this work, in order to test the deep-seated spreading model, we carried out a finite element simulation performed with the COMSOL Multiphysics software.
