- Abstract
- The role of Earth tides as a relevant controlling factor of a variety
of geological processes, including seismicity and volcanism, is
widely debated. Stromboli Volcano, Italy, is well known for its
persistent explosive activity and represents an ideal setting to
investigate tidal effects on the energy release and eruptive
behaviour of volcanoes. Herein, we report new evidence that
tidal stresses may modulate the timing of eruptive activity at
volcanoes in an open-vent state. We report statistically significant
correlations of the peak eruption frequencies to fortnightly
tidal maxima (i.e. full and new moon) during a 17-month-long
period of activity in 2010-2011: in fact, the number of explosive
events per hour increases by >85% during tidal maxima with
respect to the average values. We suggest that tidally induced
cycles of compression-decompression of country rocks controls
fluctuating magma supply rate from the shallow plumbing
system and, thus, eruption frequency. (literal)
