The Phlegraean Fields can be defined as a large caldera<\/strong>, formed by about 24 different volcanic centers. Unlike Vesuvius, which has only one, extending under the municipalities of the Phlegraean area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some of these volcanic centers have gaseous manifestations such as the Solfatara Volcano, an active crater with fumaroles and boiling mud pools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Others are hydrothermal in nature, such as those at Agnano and Pozzuoli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This area has been shaped by millennia of volcanic activity, which has created a series of volcanic cones, craters, hot springs and lakes of volcanic origin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And which in recent times is focusing more attention of experts for the numerous earthquakes caused by volcanic bradyseism.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bradyseism <\/strong>affecting the Phlegraean Fields area is the slow uplift or lowering of the ground, which has been causing intense earthquakes in the Phlegraean area in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These continuous earthquakes, even of significant intensity, have alerted volcanologists and the public to a possible eruption of the supervolcano. Now in quiescence since 1538<\/strong>, with the last massive eruption that led to the formation of Monte Nuovo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Earthquakes that are confirming the slow uplift of the ground (bradyseism) to which the cities of the Phlegraean Fields area are going. Uplift witnessed through the observation of the columns of the Temple of Serapis<\/strong>, partly submerged by the sea until 1983 and now completely out of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This construction has on the three columns still standing, holes at various heights produced by marine mollusks, which are indicative of the sea level in the past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thanks to the reconstruction of the holes, it was possible to understand the impact of bradyseism on the area, which led to the slow rise of the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Many people wonder whether because of their proximity the Phlegraean Fields and Vesuvius are connected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And whether a possible eruption of the supervolcano could cause an eruption of Vesuvius as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, although located a few kilometers apart, there is no connection of the two volcanoes, which are separated from each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The two volcanoes have two completely different structures.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While the Phlegraean Fields<\/strong>, as we have already mentioned, is a volcanic complex formed by 24 volcanic centers<\/strong>, which could erupt in different areas. Vesuvius<\/strong>, on the contrary, is a stratovolcano, formed by a single clearly <\/strong>visible and identified cone, from where magma escapes in the event of an eruption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Fumarole](\"https:\/\/seepompeii.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/FUMAROLE-CAMPI-FLEGREI.jpg\")
