Does Mount Vesuvius share the same Magma Chamber as Campi Flegrei?
I've read that 8 Kilometers below Vesuvius is it's 400 SQ Kilometer Magma Chamber and baring in mind that it's within 100 miles of the super volcano Campi Flegrei wouldn't that mean that they share the same Magma Chamber? Also wouldn't it also account for and explain why Vesuvius is such a violent Strato Volcano?

400 square kilometers means 400 squares with each side begin 1 kilometer long. A square 20 kilometers long on each side is 400 square kilometers. If Mt Vesuvius is roughly centered over the 400 square kilometer magma chamber, that would mean the magma chamber would extend only 10-15 kilometers from the crater.
400 kilometers square means 1 square with each side being 400 kilometers long. That would be 160,000 square kilometers.
So, is the magma chamber 400 kilometers square, or 400 square kilometers?
