Pompeii eruption The pompeii eruption was caused Deep inside Mount Vesuvius, the magma had been leaking from the earth's crust. The rock which blocked the volcano's vent had stopped the magma from coming out, therefore, a great pressure had built up inside. On 24th of August 79 A.D., the volcano finally erupted, the lava got blown 15 km in the air.
