Mount Vesuvius. Mount Vesuvius is best known for its eruption in AD 79 that led to the burying and destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. That eruption ejected a cloud of stones, ash and fumes to a height of 20.5 miles, spewing molten rock and pulverized pumice at the rate of 1.5 million tons per second, ultimately releasing a hundred thousand times the thermal energy released by the Hiroshima bombing. An estimated 16,000 people died due to hydrothermal pyroclastic flows.
Mount Vesuvius' magma is comprised mostly of pumice stone. It is low density molten rock that erupts at a high temperature.
Magma is fluid molten rock that exists under the Earth's crust.

Mt. Vesuvius is the only active volcano in continental Europe. It is 4,190 feet tall and is a composite volcano. A composite volcano is composed of a mix of layers of lava flows, volcanic ash and cinders.

All the layers of the Earth are solid except for the outer core which is comprised of molten iron and nickel.
The Outer Core.
Dome mountains are created when hot molten material is pushed upward over the sedimentary rock layers, forming a dome shape. The magma does not reach the surface as with a volcano.

Graves Mountain in Georgia was formed through a geological process called igneous intrusion, where molten rock was forced into the Earth's crust and solidified. This intrusion created a large quartzite formation that is rich in minerals such as kyanite, rutile, and pyrophyllite. Over time, erosion exposed the mountain and its unique mineral deposits.
