Title: Importance of gravitational spreading in the tectonic and volcanic evolution of Mount Etna.
Authors: Borgia, A.; Ferrari, L.
Abstract: Discusses gravitational spreading as a fundamental process in volcano growth and describes a striking example of this process at Etna volcano in Italy. Interaction between gravity and thermal effects on the structural and magmatic evolution of volcanic constructs at scales spanning several orders of magnitude; The Valle del Bove; More.
