it was simply just tectonic plates that pushed the lava through.
it erupted in march 11 1669
mount etna did not erupt in 1669.
1669 the first time then the second time in 2007
Mount Etna erupted in 1669 due to increased seismic activity and magma pressure within its volcanic system. The eruption was also triggered by a series of earthquakes leading up to the event, which caused the volcano's magma chamber to rupture and release lava and ash explosively.
Mount Etna
Mt. Etna is an active volcano. Those are dangerous to be around when they erupt.
active : a volcano which is expected to erupt again or will erupt again eg.mt etna dormant : a volcano which has erupted in the last 2000 years but not recently eg Mt Baker extinct : a volcano which will not erupt again eg killimanjaro
No. Mount Etna started erupting about 500,000 years ago, which is a rather short time on a geologic scale.

Mount Etna is a volcano.
Mt. Etna of eastern Sicily is an active volcano. In fact, it is the largest active volcano in all of Europe.Yes - Mount Etna is classed as active. It's last eruption was in 2014 - when a 'flank eruption' started. A flank eruption means that lava flowed out from the side of eh cone - instead of the main vent at the summit.
The eruption of Mount Etna in May 2008 was caused by a combination of factors, including the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, the accumulation of magma in the volcano's chamber, and the release of pressure through volcanic activity. These factors combined to create the conditions necessary for the eruption to occur.
