Mount Vesuvius.

[Location]: Campania, Italy. [Date]: C. October 79 AD. [Type]: Plinian, Peléan.

The story.

In A.D. 62, a major earthquake shook Mount Vesuvius. Earthquakes continued for years as the magma chamber inside Vesuvius inflated. Finally, in August of A.D. 79, eruptions began. For 12 hours, finegrained ash, then coarse white pumice (a frothy, glass rock), and later a gray pumice, rained down on the city of Pompeii.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD destroyed the Roman city of Pompeii and other settlements. The eruption was violent and explosive, and lasted for more than 19 hours.

When did the eruption occur?

The eruption occurred on August 24, AD 79, around 1 PM
The eruption buried Pompeii in at least 19 feet (6 meters) of ash and other volcanic debris
What was the impact?
The eruption killed thousands of people, including Pliny the Elder, who was in charge of a fleet in the Bay of Naples

The eruption also destroyed the cities of Herculaneum, Oplontis, and Stabiae

What is known about the eruption?

Pliny the Younger was the only person to write down a firsthand account of the eruption
The eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash, and volcanic gases to a height of 33 km (21 mi)
The eruption buried Pompeii, preserving it for centuries before its ruins were discovered in the late 16th century.

The eruption killed an estimated 2,000 people in Pompeii. This was about 13% of the city's population.

How many people died?

The death toll could have been as high as 16,000.
Most deaths occurred on the second day of the eruption.
Most people died from suffocation in their homes or on the streets.
Others died from falling rocks and other debris.

How did people die?

The city was buried under layers of volcanic ash, pumice, and stone.
The city was engulfed in toxic gases, ash clouds, and volcanic particles.
A fast-moving wall of hot rock and ash, known as pyroclastic flow, tore through the city.

How many bodies were found?

Excavations in Pompeii have found the remains of over one thousand victims.
The famous plaster casts of Pompeii's victims are so lifelike because they were buried and killed almost instantly.

What happened to Pompeii?

The eruption changed Pompeii's history and landscape forever.
The city was abandoned for almost as many years as it took to bury it.

The volcano erupted again in 1631, six times in the 18th century (including 1779 and 1794), eight times in the 19th century (notably in 1872), and in 1906, 1929 and 1944. There have been no eruptions since 1944, and none of the eruptions after AD 79 were as large or destructive as the Pompeian one.

I'll leave that for you folks to research, Because I don't want to put to much incase it gets out of hand.

Thanks for reading!
