Cercetătorii cred că un vulcan lângă care trăiesc 2 milioane de oameni ascunde un pericol dublu

Researchers have discovered that the Masaya volcano in Nicaragua, home to two million people, is fueled by two active magma reservoirs. This finding is crucial for understanding the volcano's potential hazards, as it can switch between effusive and explosive eruptions. Recent satellite data revealed ground deformation over six years, indicating significant volcanic activity. Although there is no immediate threat, the continuous release of harmful gases poses public health risks. Ongoing geodetic studies will enhance risk monitoring and management for Masaya and similar basaltic volcanoes.
