Abstract

This chapter introduces the third part of the book, presenting the regional tectonic frame of volcanoes. In this third part the previously described volcano-tectonic processes are considered at a wider scale, highlighting the interaction of the volcanoes with the regional tectonic context. The focus here is on how the tectonic setting may affect the location, distribution, style, type and frequency of volcanic activity, on both the longer-term (i.e., thousands to millions of years) and, as suggested by recent studies, the shorter-term (i.e., years or less, as in the co- and post-seismic cycles of regional earthquakes). The change in scale in this part of the book permits to appreciate first-order magmatic processes related to plate-tectonics mechanisms, in an exciting journey around key regions of our planet. This journey allows explaining the major differences among the volcanic provinces, as well as showing how magma plays a leading role not only in promoting intra-plate processes but, quite unexpectedly, also in shaping plate boundaries.
