Mt. Vesuvius erupted because the magma under pressure in its chamber needed an outlet. The effect of the eruption was seal the citizens of Pompeii in a ash and pumice tomb.
Until it erupted they didn't know it was a volcano. The total event started with an earthquake about 3 days before the final eruption and they were use to earthquakes. When it did finally erupt they didn't have a chance. The pryoclastic cloud took less than 5 minutes to cover the entire area and it buried 2 cities as well as changed the coastline.

Mount Vesuvius is at next to Pompeii, Italy. It erupted and covered all of Pompeii in lava. The lava cooled other the peope, freezing thyem like statues. If you peel away the now cooled lava, you will see people's bones. You can see two pompeii people covered by cooled lava.
