A volcano that had been quiet for a long time might be waking up and reaching a critical state. It lies underneath 500,000 people in Italy and is a huge supervolcano. Magma may be reaching the critical degassing pressure at Campi Flegrei. A sudden release of hot magmatic gasses is possible in the near future, which could trigger a large eruption. Though, the timing of an eruption is unknown and currently impossible to predict. Italy's government has raised the volcanoes threat level from green to yellow. Campi Flegrei is thought to have formed thousands of years ago. Scientists say an eruption might not happen in our lifetime. They say it's impossible to say with certainty when an eruption will take place.
This is so cool. Volcanoes are one of the best subjects to get people pumped up. It's a positive topic as it's telling us about the risks of volcanoes. This doesn't change my life at all, I just think it's awesome. I think, when the threat level goes from yellow to red, they should start moving people out of that place. The videos in the article are videos of volcanoes blowing up mostly. I just wish the article had talked about why it's waking up.
