Mount Etna is located in Sicily due to the complex tectonic interactions between the African and Eurasian tectonic plates. As the African plate moves northward, it is being subducted beneath the Eurasian plate, creating volcanic activity in the region. This geological process has led to the formation of Etna as one of the most active volcanoes in the world, continually reshaping the landscape of Sicily. Its eruptions are a result of magma rising from deep within the Earth's mantle, driven by the tectonic forces at play.
