      Do volcanic eruptions correlate with the peak fluctuation areas of the Earth's electromagnetic field?
      For ie: as a part of the electromagnetic field moves outward from the area it's over, does that then cause lava from underground, to be pulled upward toward the surface?🤔

    I've been to Naples, climbed Vesuvius and been to Pompeii earlier this year. That volcano is just magical. Since it's not nestled between other mountains, but kinda situated in a very large field, it just looms over and dominates its surroundings as a great reminder that nature is the ruler of this world. Its danger and beauty is so captivating, no wonder people continue to be mezmerised by it over thousands of years.

      Naples was already there, the destroyed towns we know of are Ercolano and Pompei close to Naples, but still kilometers away. Vesuvius is now considered not that dangerous anymore, the actual danger are Campi Flegrei North of Naples: that's a volcanic area at sea level, but we know that in the future it will become a huge volcano like Vesuvius or Etna. Moreover, one of the reasons is that the place is just beautiful, unfortunately he doesn't say or clearly shows, but there's town on the cone of Vesuvius, Etna and the houses he shows with the black sand their on Stromboli, take a look at a map the whole island is basically a volcano and there's a town there, it's just wonderful and attracts a lot of tourists every year

      The area around Vesuvius attracted a lot of people because thanks to the ashes the ground there is extremely fertile. Now you can't just move millions of people or at least not until there are certain signs of eruption. People are going to stay at their homes anyway unless they are directly faced with the consequences. The island of vulcano on the other hand is pretty safe even though there is a volcano always erupting by the simple fact that that volcano just doesn't accumulate much power since it just continues to erupt. That means that a bigger eruption is virtually impossible until it continues to erupt uninterruptedly
