Sul Terremoto Profondo delle Isole Eolie del 23 Novembre 1954

Research confirms that the Aeolian Islands, part of the lower Tyrrhenian region, are situated above deep seismic centers ranging from 200 to 300 kilometers beneath the Earth's surface. These centers align with the active volcanic arc comprising Etna, Stromboli, and Vesuvius, mirroring characteristics found in certain Pacific Ring of Fire regions. The study leverages microsismic data to reveal this structural alignment, suggesting that the Aeolian Islands' geological setting—marked by active or recently extinct volcanism, significant marine depths, and positive isostatic anomalies—contributes to its seismic activity patterns, akin to those observed in subduction zones.
