Pompeii was a city buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 A.D.
The eruption also changed the course of the Sarno River and raised the sea beach, so that Pompeii was now neither on the river nor adjacent to the coast. Vesuvius itself underwent major changes - its slopes were denuded of vegetation and its summit changed considerably due to the force of the eruption.

What happened to the animals of Pompeii after the volcano?
Alot of the animals got away before it erupted because animals have heightened senses for some things than humans and they could sense something bad was going to happen. That was kind of a sign for the humans as well because they saw alot of the animals fleeing. but although some animals managed to flee, alot still got trapped by the lava and ash and there are shells of the animals in the ruins of pompeii. The animals were entombed in ash, debris and pumice, therefore DYING.

Why did the people in the city near the volcano slayed during the eruption instead of fleeing?
Depending on the type of eruption people can't out run the volcanic eruption. Vesuvius in 79 AD had a pyroclastic eruption and the cloud,of gasses, rocks, and ash was 900 degrees and travelled 7 miles in seconds. It changed the coast line of Italy and covered 65 acres of farms, cities, plants, and animals. When the people breathed in the ash it mixed with the body fluids and turned to a cement suffocating them. Others, hiding in a boat house had their brains boil from the heat. Yet, in 1946 Vesuvius erupted and this time it had a slow moving lava. Towns were covered, but people did get away. In 79 it was impossible to run away once the final eruption began. Today, over a million people live under Vesuvius and Etna. They are monitored constantly and are watched for any signs of eruption .
