Stromboli has been erupting almost continuously since 1932, making it one of Earth's most active volcanoes. Mount Stromboli is an active volcano located in the Mediterranean Sea in southern Italy.
Volcanic belts are found above zones of unusually high temperature (700 to 1,400 °C (1,292 to 2,552 °F)) where magma is created by partial melting of solid material in the Earth's crust and upper mantle. These areas usually form along tectonic plate boundaries at depths of 10 to 50 kilometres (6.2 to 31.1 mi).
