Nowadays, between fake news or misinformation, we let ourselves be overwhelmed by panic or negative memories that life has made us experience. So, for those who choose Wanda and our city, let's provide a brief summary of what is happening in the Campi Flegrei (located 30 minutes away by car from Vomero).
These tremors are due to "BRADYSISMO": It is a phenomenon of periodic and slow raising and lowering of the ground which cyclically affects the Flegrean area.
The last phase of uplift, which is still ongoing, began in 2005 and in July 2023 reached a peak of 113 cm in the Rione Terra area of Pozzuoli. The raising of the ground is systematically accompanied by earthquakes (unlike during the lowering phases, when there are no earthquakes).
These are the exact words of Mauro di Vito, the director of the Vesuvius Observatory:
"The geophysical and geochemical parameters analyzed, both in wells and in hydrothermal emissions, indicate the persistence of the ongoing dynamics, with ground uplift. In the area of maximum deformation in Rione Terra, the average speed is about 15 mm/month since the beginning of 2023, slightly increasing in recent days, and there have been no significant geochemical variations in the last week."
Thanks to GEO POP, which has allowed us to provide an explanation to all our clients.
