Adwa, Stratovolcano in Somali Region, Ethiopia
The Adwa volcano rises to an elevation of 1,733 meters and contains a substantial caldera measuring 4 by 5 kilometers across its summit.
Research conducted in May 2000 revealed significant geological activity through an earthquake study and InSAR analysis, detecting a 5-kilometer deep magma intrusion.
The location of Adwa near tribal boundaries influences the relationships between the Afar and Issa communities regarding territorial considerations.
Scientists regularly monitor seismic activity and surface changes around the volcano to assess potential geological hazards and understand magmatic movements.
The volcano, also known as Caaduba, Amoissa, or Dabita, experienced its most recent recorded volcanic activity in 1928.
