The earth rises in the Eifel. Very little, by a millimeter a year - but for a long time. At the same time, the surface of the earth moves horizontally apart, as if something is pushing upwards from below.
This has been proven for the first time by US scientists. In a study, they evaluated measurement data from thousands of GPS antennas in Western Europe over 20 years - and thus came across new evidence of a still active volcanism in the Eifel region.
"The Eifel is the only region in the study in which the ground movement was significantly larger than expected," says lead author Corné Kreemer from the University of Nevada in Reno. "The results suggest that rising rock material could cause this movement of the soil."
