Living in the shadow of Italy's volcanoes

[@elainemoreland3908]

Grandpa was born in Sicily in 1890. Still have family there. Thank you all for your time and energy in educating us. Wish I could be there.

At 4:29 minutes - How can a volcano be both “dormant “ and “active and dangerous” at the same time? I find such a description by an expert volcanologist highly confusing and problematic. Can anyone explain this?

[@keatonterry]

"Active" as in its magma chamber is constantly filling and draining, releasing gases on the surface, and it has erupted during the current geologic period; it's also "dormant" in the sense that it is not currently erupting or even gearing up for an eruption in the foreseeable future.

Love the video Mr Ross! I was in your A-Level Geoggers class and cross country team at Berko 92 - 94. Good memories! I have always loved Geography 👍

[@madnatty]

I think campi fleigri is more dangerous…although vesuvius is obviously dangerous too. Anyone within 100km should be prepared to evacuate at some point.

This is the main objective of education. Give serious cultural backgrounds to create adecuate criteria. Very good site.

Love this video. I have experienced what most never will. I get to fly around Vesuvius to Stromboli and then Etna in less than 3 hours in our military helicopter during deployment. They are incredibly amazing to see from the air.

[@markl2913]

Are you taking any infrared pictures? If not, you should.

Nećete mi vjerovati ,gledam vašu emisiju o kalderu,na telefon mi dolazi prijava o potresu u viterbu u Italiji

[@Necrophite78]

The longer Vesuvius doesn't erupt, the more powerful the next eruption will probably be. So a long time of quiet means you should probably worry when it DOES become active again.

[@giuliopazzosgravato8891]

Well, if it is true we don't need to worry, until 1944 the Vesuvius didn't erupt for 1865 years and the eruption didn't even destroy the city

Excellent. Thank you :)

Ne znam ima li kakve veze,poslije potresa u turskoj more se u Veneciji drastično povuklo,a niz potresa je potresao Istru na nekim otocima je poslije došlo do plimnog vala a zatresla se i italija

[@Tiisiphone]

I wouldn't live anywhere near to Mount Vesuvius. I heard too many stories about Pompeii when I was a kid.

[@piecaruso97]

It’s not that bad living here, besides the risk of earthquakes, you have a lot of thing to enjoy in the city

[@curtis20041]

Its funny they didn't mention the volcanic unrest currently going on with the super volcano campi flegie

[@giuliopazzosgravato8891]

It's not dangerous, I don't live at Naples but I live near Etna, so i can say that we aren't scaried of that

Life is the most precious gift to humanity, this is why Jesus Christ died for mankind, not riches are anything else....as a prime i will never live so close to any volcanoes in any country...I know about volcanic richness in soils... but to be honest those things are killers and they respect no one... but you have to respect and fear them....why? Because they can kill you but you can't kill them....stay away from volcanoes.

[@couttsw]

The proper term is Pyroclastic Flow, NOT Pyroclastic Surge. Why do they make idiots presenters who can't follow the script.

[@grendel_nz]

Different terms are used and like fashion, change over time. I prefer flow, but surge actually describes the turbulence of it more accurately. No biggie. :)
