We can understand from the passage that the pushing of the African continental plate beneath the European continental plate ----.
Mount Vesuvius in southern Italy is actually a
volcano inside the exploded skeleton of an older
volcano. Looked at from above, the remaining ridge
of a much larger volcano can be seen on the north
side. This older volcano had probably erupted
violently long before human settlement. Southern
Italy is unstable ground. The African continental
plate, on which most of the Mediterranean Sea rests,
is actually diving beneath the European plate. That
kind of underground collision produces molten rock,
or magma, rich in volatile gases such as sulfur
dioxide. Under pressure underground, these gases
stay dissolved. But when the magma rises to the
surface, the gases are released. Accordingly, when
volcanoes like Vesuvius erupt, they tend to erupt
explosively. To this day, in fact, Vesuvius remains
one of the world's most dangerous volcanoes; some
3.5 million Italians live in its shadow. Although
monitoring devices are in place to warn of the
volcano's activity, if there were a major eruption with
little warning, there could be a tremendous loss of
life.
