Relevant geo-hazard phenomena. ‌ The geological structure and topography of the Volterra tableland and surroundings influence the typology and the spatial distribution of mass movements in the area. Nearby Volterra city, the layer inclination and the contrast between the impermeable clays, the upper erodible sands and the well-cemented calcarenites determine different kinds of landslides and soil erosion processes (Sabelli et al. 2012). The most representative types of landslides are slides (64% of the total amount) and flows (29%). Falls and topples are mapped only in a very small sector characterized by the presence of Balze crags (Figure 7).

Relevant geo-hazard phenomena. 2.2.3.1 Volcanism In Tenerife we find two types of volcanism, monogenetic and polygenetic volcanism. Monogenetic volcanism is mainly concentrated in the rift zones and it is usually of basaltic (or more generically, mafic) composition. Polygenetic volcanism is associated to the Central Volcanic Complex: Teide – Pico Viejo system (TPV), twin volcanoes that have been constructed by several eruptions and involve highly evolved magmas. The Monogenetic volcanism is the same type of volcanism that has been described for the historical eruptions on the other islands, being mainly concentrated in the NW-SE and NE-SW rift zones of the island. Teide-Pico Viejo complex is the only volcanic system nowadays in the Canaries with a permanent and active magmatic chamber, in which evolved magmas (phonolite type) are produced, and is the volcanic edifice in the Canary Islands with the higher probability of hosting an explosive eruption. This fact, joined with the great increase in the population surrounding the volcano makes it a potentially high risk volcano. The main concern about potential future volcanic activity on Tenerife has traditionally been addressed towards basaltic eruptions taking place along the two active rift zones, as they have occurred in historical times. However, despite the occurrence of numerous eruptions during the Holocene and of unequivocal signs of activity in historical times (fumaroles, seismicity) (IGN seismic catalogue) and even an unrest episode in 2004 (Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx et al. 2011), TPV has not been considered as a major threat. Although the highest probability of having a new eruption on Tenerife corresponds to a basaltic eruption along the rift zones, which today would also represent a significant trouble for the island, the probability of having a new eruption from the TPV central complex is not negligible (Xxxxx et al., 2012).
