How is the 1928 Mt Etna eruption caused?
i think tectonic plates...

What plates are affecting Mt Etna?
What caused Mt Etna volcano to erupt in 1669?
it was simply just tectonic plates that pushed the lava through.
What are the two plates that made mt etna?
the eurasian and African plates
What are the names of the two mt thera interacting plates?
The two tectonic plates that interact at Mount Etna are the African Plate and the Eurasian Plate. The African Plate is moving northward and subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate, leading to the volcanic activity at Mount Etna.
Is Mt Eyjafjallajokull on 1 or 2 tectonic plates?
Mt Eyjafjallajökull (whew!) is on 2 different tectonic plates.
What caused Mt Etna to erupt in may 2008?
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.
What forces are occurring to make Mt Etna form?
Mt Etna is formed by the convergence of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. The subduction of the African plate beneath the Eurasian plate results in magma rising to the surface, leading to volcanic eruptions. Additionally, the presence of a hotspot under the Earth's crust contributes to the continuous volcanic activity.
What is the highest peak in Sicily?
Mt Etna
How did Mt Etna form?
Mt. Etna formed through the movement of the African tectonic plate colliding with the European plate. This collision created a subduction zone where the African plate is being pushed beneath the European plate, leading to the rising of magma to the surface and the formation of the volcano. Over time, repeated eruptions have built up the volcanic cone of Mt. Etna.
What type of magma does Mt Etna have?
The composition of Mt. Etna is basaltic.
What is height of Mt Etna?
the height of mt etna is 3,350m tall.
