The 1980 eruption was very explosive. Ash was blown 80,000 feet into the air and the mountain is a quarter mile shorter than it was before the eruption.
The most recent eruption of Mount Vesuvius occurred in 1944, causing significant damage to surrounding towns and infrastructure. The estimated economic damage from this eruption was around $100 million at the time.
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was a explosive eruption caused by a lateral blast. It was triggered by a massive collapse of the volcano's north flank, releasing pressure built up within the volcano.
Mount Vesuvius is still considered active because recently it's been reported that local volcano experts in Pompeii have detected activity within mt Vesuvius. all bird and animal life on the mountain have fled. It is four years overdue to blow, and history maintains a pattern exists of an eruption every 1,000 years. It's been doing it regularly since 1800 BC, with the last time in 1944.
Gas in lava can make it more explosive. When gas bubbles within the lava are trapped and then released during an eruption, it can lead to more violent explosions. The pressure from the gas causes the lava to fragment into smaller pieces, creating explosive eruptions.
The last time Mt. Vesuvius erupted was on March 18, 1944.
The eruption of mount Vesuvius was an explosive one.
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
The last eruption of mt Vesuvius was in 1944,18 of March.

Mount Vesuvius is capable of producing both explosive and effusive eruptions. Its most famous eruption in AD 79 was a highly explosive event that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. However, the volcano has also had eruptions characterized by the slow outpouring of lava flows.
Titus was the emperor at the time of the Vesuvius eruption.
