a Map of southern Italy. ME Mt. Etna, AMC Apennine-Maghrebian chain, MEF Malta Escarpment fault system. b Sketch map of Mt. Etna volcano showing the urbanized areas (gray polygons) and main faults and tectonic lineaments (dark gray lines). The continuous GNSS network is also reported: yellow diamonds, stations used to constrain the elastic models discussed in this study; dark gray diamonds, remaining stations. The orange dots represent pyroclastic cones, while active faults and tectonic lineaments are reported as gray lines. EDAM–ESLN, EDAM–EMAL, and EDAM–EMGL are reported as black, red, and blue lines, respectively. c Zoom of the summit area of Mt. Etna91.
