Relationship between tremor and volcanic activity during the Southeast Crater eruption on Mount Etna in early 2000

Abstract: [1] The Southeast Crater of Mount Etna (Italy) was characterized by a violent eruptive activity between 26 January and 24 June 2000. This activity produced 64 lava fountain episodes with repose periods from 3 hours to 10 days. We estimated a volume of about 15-20 Â 10 6 m 3 lava and at least 2-3 Â 10 6 m 3 of tephra. We compared the paroxysmal volcanic activity to its associated seismic signature: The high number of events highlighted a strict correlation between tremor and volcanic activity. Seismic and volca… Show more

“…It is therefore expected that during the fire-fountain phases of the eruption dyke intrusion occurs at the level of the cone due to the favourable combination of highest magmatic overpressure and lowest mechanical resistence of surrounding rocks. Dyke intrusion at this shallow level would therefore cause lava flows to emerge from the flanks of the South-East Crater during the fire-fountain phases of the eruption, as it was in fact repeatedly observed (Behncke et al, 2006). The further observation from Behncke et al (2006) that the peaks in mass discharge rate during the fire-fountain phases were accompanied by an increase in the output rate of the lava flows emerging from the flanks of the tephra cone is also perfectly consistent with our results at Figs.…”
