No, although Pompeii gets the most attention, the entire area was affected. Towns such as Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and Nuceria as well as the surrounding farms were also devastated.

No. In the AD79 eruption the cities of Herculaneum and Oplontis were also destroyed. Another city, Stabiae, was very badly damaged.

Mount Vesuvius affected Pompeii because it had killed many people and destroyed their properties and buildings. The only good points are that the fertile soil was great to help grow crops.

Every one thought pompeii was just a poor town that got distoryed by a valcanoe in the Roman empire. But what I found out in my art history class was Pompeii was the Romans version of Vegas. I know it sounds stupid, but it is true.
Yes, but fatalities were few, and only minor damage was done. Pompeii was obliterated.
Yes it did. In 79 AD the eruption of Valcano Mount Vesuvius completely buried Pompeii and its sister city, Herculaneam. they were accidentally rediscovered over 1,500 years later in 1599 when they were digging sewage lines. Pompeii was buried in ash and herculaneum was covered in boiling mud. in fact, in herculaneum, the people who were trapped in the mud the bodies have disinegrated, leaving plaster like casts in the excact positions that the bodies were when they died.
They evacuated Pompeii. They residents knew Vesuvius would have a large eruption soon, as it was spouting ash and lava.

Pompeii home to mt. Vesuvious erupted wiping out Pompeii and Herculaneum even closer to the volcano. Pumis and ashed covered the cities and some people on foot got decintegrated by the pyroplastic flow. Only few survied this natural disaster on 24th of August 79AD.
Pliny the Younger was a survivor from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. He wrote a diary about the event because he saw the eruption across the bay from Naples and he wasn't in Pompeii while it was happening. He is how we know about the burial of Pompeii.
Pompeii, which was downwind from Vesuvius, was buried primarily by falling ash and pumice with only relatively thing deposits from pyroclastic flows. Herculaneum, which was closer to the volcano but upwind was buried primarily by pyroclastic flows, which were hotter than the falling ash.
