An historically example of the destruction that a volcano can cause is when an erupting Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. brought about the total destruction of Pompeii. There are so many examples worldwide: currently, in November and December 2017, is the possible eruption of Mount Agung, in Bali. All volcanic eruptions have the potential of causing death due to very hot gases that can travel at high speed down the sides of the volcano, and ash and lava flows causing death and destruction of property.
