Where did I get all my brilliant information from? Look and you will see . . .
My two main books used were:
Cheers, G 2007, Geologica, Millenium House, Elanora Heights.
Luhr, J 2003, Earth, Dorling Kindersley, London.
The main website I used was:
Bell, J N.d, Mount Etna - Itlay, Geology.com, accessed 09 September 2012, <http://geology.com/volcanoes/etna/>
But I would also like to say a big thanks to all those other websites that helped me along the way such as:

So what are the disadvantages of Mount Etna?
Well, there is the obvious - the Sicilians are in constant worry especially those that live in Sicily's largest city, Catania. Death is very imminent. Although they class this volcano as not very dangerous, it is still very destructive. Etna has produced ash falls, and mudflows, but the lava flows are the most immediately
hazardous type of activity, especially to the city of Catania.While the flows themselves usually do not move fast enough to threaten
humans, they can cover large areas and destroy crops and buildings. If a fissure erupts, evacuating the inhabitants of towns and cities near the volcano would be a huge challenge.
How about a hike around Mount Etna?
Yep, Mount Etna is a tourist attraction. Need proof?
