Abstract

As discussed in Chap. 1, volcano-tectonics focuses on the stress-deformation relationships related to volcanic activity, at the local and regional scale. While Chap. 1” has introduced volcanoes and their activity, this second chapter provides complementary introductory knowledge, summarizing the stress-deformation relations affecting the crustal rocks and completing the fundamentals section of the book.
