Italy’s Supervolcano Has a Secret Layer

Turns out, the Campi Flegrei caldera near Naples is restless because of a hidden, squishy layer of rock deep underground! Scientists found that this tuff layer, weakened by ancient magma, acts like a sponge for volcanic gases. When it gets overloaded, it cracks—causing those mini earthquakes everyone feels. The wild part? This might help predict eruptions, not just here but at other volcanoes too. No big eruption is coming soon, but this explains all the shaking! #volcano #Italy #science
