Why is Pompeii well known?

It is a visited place because when you stand so far up the volcano you can see the old town of Pompeii!Also, When tourists come to visit the ruins of Pompeii, they are brought back in time; specifically to 79 AD, the time when Mount Vesuvius let out all of its pent-up energy and unleashed it unto the unsuspecting inhabitants of Pompeii below it. Everything happened so quickly, that the entire town-city and everything within it were "efficiently" buried and rendered devoid of air and moisture -- two requirements for deterioration.Hence, when it was excavated, Pompeii revealed a treasure trove of ancient historical information.


What harmful conditions do humans need to be protected from volcanoes?

one harmful condition is to evacuate. it's harmful because some people can get nervous, scared, and freak out, so they will start running and they can hit you while they try to pass and you can get get really hurt. when the authority tells you to evacuate, follow them. you will get to a place far from the volcano and there, there will be helicopters or something like that and they will take you to safe place.
