As with some other eruptions, the magma in the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius was different from how may people think about it. It was extremly viscous and had large amounts of gas trapped in it. So, instead of flowing or fountaining out of the volcano, the magma came out explosively. As it was blasted into the air, most of it formed into fine particles fo glass called volcanic ahs, while some of the larger globs formed pumice.
