limestone assimilation under volcanoes helps understand earths carbon cycle /

In a current study researchers from Sweden and Italy show what happens when magma meets limestone on its way up to the surface. Magma-limestone interaction might aid clarify why volcanoes like Vesuvius in Italy and Merapi in Indonesia are particularly explosive and,moreover, it helps us to understand another source of natural carbon released to the atmosphere by volcanoes.
