Extract

Since visiting the Volcanic region of Central and Southern Italy in the autumn of last year, I have been much exercised from time to time as to some of the conditions which produce, and sustain volcanic activity. It seems to be an undoubted fact that water coming into contact with highly heated rock is one of the most important requisites to produce, and sustain a volcanic eruption. The difficulty has been to explain how water is introduced.
