== Geology == The Tyrrhenian Sea is a [[back-arc basin]] that formed due to the [[Oceanic trench#Trench rollback|rollback]] of the Calabrian [[Slab (geology)|slab]] towards South-East during the [[Neogene]].<ref name=":0" /> Episodes of fast and slow [[Trench#Geology|trench]] retreat formed first the Vavilov basin and, then, the Marsili basin.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=Faccenna|first1=Claudio|last2=Funiciello|first2=Francesca|last3=Giardini|first3=Domenico|last4=Lucente|first4=Pio|date=2001|title=Episodic back-arc extension during restricted mantle convection in the Central Mediterranean|journal=Earth and Planetary Science Letters|volume=187|issue=1β2|pages=105β116|doi=10.1016/s0012-821x(01)00280-1|issn=0012-821X|bibcode=2001E&PSL.187..105F}}</ref> [[Submarine volcano]]es and the active volcano [[Mount Stromboli]] formed because trench retreat produces extension in the overriding plate allowing the [[Mantle (geology)|mantle]] to rise below the surface and partially melt. The [[magmatism]] here is also affected by the fluids released from the slab.
