solfataric activity
solfataric activity The quiet escape of hot, sulphur-rich gases from recently emplaced volcanic bodies. The name is derived from the fields of sulphurous gas vents at the Solfatara crater, north of Naples, Italy. When cooled by the atmosphere the escaping gases deposit many minerals, including chlorides, sulphur and hematite.
