Mount Vesuvius is a volcano with a history of producing enormous explosive eruptions. Most famously it destroyed Pompeii and several other towns in 79 AD. Today about 3 million people live near the volcano, close enough to be affected by falling ash and pyroclastic flows.
Mt. Vesuvius in Italy is dangerous because every year it doesnt erupt it will send more stuff into the area.
Because it can erupt any time and it's still active. Obviously. Who wouldn't know that?
Not at the moment. But when it is destructive, it is very destructive. There is every reason to believe that Vesuvius will erupt again.
Yes. Mount Vesuvius has produced large eruptions in the past and is likely to do so again and it poses a risk to a heavily populated area.
Yes, it is. In fact, it is one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.
It could errupt at any time!:)
Yes, it blew up yesterday!!
Mt. Vesuvius is gray,brown,and a little bit of black.
Pompeii is the partially buried Roman town that was famously devastated by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius. Pompeii is a tourist attraction so is "active". Mt. Vesuvius is also still volcanically active and last erupted in 1944.
There already is a city near Mount Vesuvius: Naples. Naples has been there since long before anyone knew Mount Vesuvius was dangerous. The land around Mount Vesuvius is desireable because the volcanic soil is very fertile and excellent for growing crops.
No, it did not
Yes
Mount Vesuvius still has the potential to produce large, explosive eruptions similar to the one that destroyed Pompeii in the year 79. The population surrounding Vesuvius now is much larger than it was 2,000 years ago. An eruption today would put millions of people in danger.

Mount Vesuvius is most famous of its massive eruption in 79 AD, which destroyed the town of Pompeii. Mount Vesuvius is closely monitored today because 3 million people live near it and could be put at risk by future eruptions.
A volcano, which is a mountain, cannot be possibly be buried in a city. It is the other way round. A city can be buried by the volcanic ashes of the lava of a volcanic eruption; that is, an explosion o fa volcano mountain. Pompeii was buried by the volcanic ashes of a volcanic eruption of the nearby Mount Vesuvius
People living around the area of ancient Pompeii are safer to day than they were 2000 years ago because of modern, very careful monitoring of Mt. Vesuvius. Vesuvius is still an active volcano and still poses a danger, but with the monitoring, people will have warning of an eruption and can take measures for their safety.People living around the area of ancient Pompeii are safer to day than they were 2000 years ago because of modern, very careful monitoring of Mt.

There already is a city near Mount Vesuvius: Naples. Naples has been there since long before anyone knew Mount Vesuvius was dangerous. The land around Mount Vesuvius is desireable because the volcanic soil is very fertile and excellent for growing crops.
When it erupted in 79AD it covered 65 acres of land and killed 25,000 people. It is still active today with 3 million people living below. If it erupted today the damage would be much greater.
It's a risk they take by choosing to live there.
The Bible has nothing to do with the Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD and when it erupted anyone who was still in the area died. The ash and rocks covered 65 acres and changed the coastline of Italy. Pompeii was buried for 2000 years before it was discovered and today some parts are buried.
Pompeii is considered a dangerous place to live because on August 24, 79 AD Mt. Vesuvius erupted and covered and preserved Pompeii with volcanic ash. Many Romans died, and the plaster casts of how their bodies looked when they died can still be seen today today. Back then, the Romans did not know Mt. Vesuvius was a volcano. Today, Vesuvius is still active, therefore, it could be still considered dangerous.
Mount Vesuvius is a volcano with a history of producing enormous explosive eruptions. Most famously it destroyed Pompeii and several other towns in 79 AD. Today about 3 million people live near the volcano, close enough to be affected by falling ash and pyroclastic flows.
