As with all volcanoes deep in the Earth through a weak spot in the earths crust magma was leaking. A thick plug of solidified rock at the top of the volcano blocked the magmas exit. As the pressure increased so too did the exclusivity. Minor earth tremors shook the city, an indication that rocks were being fractured deep below due to the rising magma. When the magma could be contained no more Vesuvius exploded and as the magma was high in silica and thus extremely viscous the magma had turned not to lava but to foam.
