STRONGEST Earthquake (M4.6) in DECADES Rocks Campi Flegrei ⚠️ Seismicity is Increasing EXPONENTIALLY

A magnitude 4.6 earthquake - the strongest in decades - just struck Campi Flegrei, Italy's supervolcano located near Naples. Since 2020 seismicity, uplift, and gas emissions have been increasing exponentially, and with this latest powerful earthquake shaking the volcano and underground magma chamber, is it about to unleash a "big one"? Geophysicist Stefan Burns reports and investigates...
