摘要
Strombolian-type eruptive activity, common at many volcanoes, consists of regular explosions driven by the bursting of gas slugs that rise faster than surrounding magma. Explosion quakes associated with this activity are usually localized at shallow depth; however, where and how slugs actually form remain poorly constrained. We used spectroscopic measurements performed during both quiescent degassing and explosions on Stromboli volcano ( Italy) to demonstrate that gas slugs originate from as deep as the volcano-crust interface (similar to 3 kilometers), where both structural discontinuities and differential bubble-rise speed can promote slug coalescence. The observed decoupling between deep slug genesis and shallow (similar to 250-meter) explosion quakes may be a common feature of strombolian activity, determined by the geometry of plumbing systems.
