Best Answer

Mt. Stromboli is an active volcano.

The interaction between continental plates floating on the surface of the mantle creates mountains and volcanoes. Mount Stromboli was created through the convergence of two tectonic plates, which pushed upward and created a submerged deep ocean volcano in the ocean. Converging plates are typically responsible for the creation of volcanoes.

Stromboli is part of what is called the Calabrian Arc of volcanoes. The Calabrian Arc volcanoes were formed by the subduction of the African tectonic plate under the Eurasian tectonic plate. The African plate is sliding under [subduction] the Eurasian plate. Check links and related topics below.
