Italian researchers have
found a system of deep fissures amounting to a genuine 'window'
under the Ionian sea, it emerged on Friday.
The important discovery helps to explain Sicily's slow but
progressive movement away from Calabria and the high earthquake
risk in the area.
"The numerous oceanographic campaigns carried out in the area
have revealed a broad system of fault lines not far from the
coast that can now be monitored," said CNR researcher Alina
Polonia.
