Everything about Lopevi totally explained
Lopevi (or
Lopévi) is an uninhabited island in
Malampa Province,
Vanuatu. It lies to the southeast of
Ambrym and west of
Paama. It consists of the 7-km-wide cone of the active
stratovolcano by the same name. It reaches a peak of 1413 m above sea level, the tallest point in central Vanuatu. It has erupted at least 22 times since 1862. The island was formerly inhabited, but in 1960 the population moved to nearby
Paama or
Epi because of the recurrent danger.
Lopevi is on the
Pacific Plate, where it lies above the
subducted
Australian Plate to the west. Because there are no earthquakes between 50 and 200 km below the Earth's surface, it's thought that the subducted plate has fractured, and doesn't appear between these depths.
