Is Mount Vesuvius a mountain or a volcano?

Why does a mountain build around a volcano when a volcano erupts many times?
A mountain forms around a volcano because each volcanic eruption can release large amounts of lava and other volcanic materials, which can accumulate over time and gradually build up the height and size of the volcano. With each eruption, new layers of lava and ash are added to the existing structure, creating a larger and taller mountain over time.
Why does a volcano shape like a mountain?
When the volcano erupts, lava comes out and hardens on the surface of the volcano. If the volcano keeps erupting, then the hardened lava will create layers which cause the volcano to get taller like a mountain.

What is a volcano before it becomes a volcano?

How can you tell an vocano is about to erupt?
Before a Volcano "erupts" the mountain and surrounding areas will experience seismic activity (Earthquakes) for hours, days, weeks and even months before the initial eruption. Also Vulcanologist monitor gas emissions from the volcano to see if there is a build up gas. And of course there many be some steam/smoke coming from the volcano (Does not have to be from the cone of the volcano, can be from vents on the side or further down the volcano!) In the case of Mt St Helens - A "DOME" appeared on the side of the mountain, this was a build up of Magma further down the mountain slope in which grew larger by the day until the initial and catastrophic eruption.
What is a steep mountain or volcano called?
composite volcano
Does a mountain turn into a volcano?
A volcano is formed when magma from beneath the Earth's crust reaches the surface through a vent or opening. While a mountain can be a volcano if it has been built up by volcanic activity, not all mountains are volcanoes.
How can volcanic eruptions build mountains?
The mountain built up by a volcano is essentially a pile of material that has erupted from it such as lava, ash, and welded tuff.
Is Mount Everest a mountain or a volcano?
