it depends which one your asking about, but Mt. Vesivus the one that destroyed pompeii happpened because too much lava was built up for several years and finally, at noon, in august, 79 ad, it finally erupted.
It is possible for Mount Vesuvius, the volcano that buried Pompeii, to erupt again as it is an active volcano. However, there is currently no imminent threat of an eruption. Scientists monitor the volcano closely to detect any signs of increased activity that could indicate a potential eruption.
Overheating some spaghetti sauce caused an eruption in the cooking class. The historical eruption of Mount Vesuvius destroyed the Greek city of Pompeii. A skin eruption should be kept clean to avoid infection.

Yes Mount Vesuvius is an active volcano. (Pompeii is the Roman town that lies in it's shadow)
It can be called an active, dormant or extinct volcano. An active volcano erupts regularly and frequently, however, it might not erupt at some times. A dormant volcano rarely erupts. Therefore, it does not erupt for most of the time. An extinct volcano does not erupt anymore.
Nobody made it erupt. It simply happened as a result of natural forces.
Pompeii didn't erupt. Mount Vesuvius - a volcano - erupted in 79AD. The ash from the volcano buried Pompeii and a neighboring town, Herculaneum. For more detailed information check out the many websites devoted to this event.

Pompeii does not erupt. Pompeii was a city that was buried by ash and pumice in 79 AD, during an eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius.
The stuff inside the volcano was building up,and it broke through the volcano. Then it turned into ash and that's how Pompeii happened.

An earthquake under the volcano caused Mt Vesuvius to erupt and bury the town under volcanic debris.

The Pompeii volcano isn't actually called that, its called Mount Vesuvius. And Pompeii is in Italy, Rome.
It depends, a volcano can erupt once and never erupt again. Or, a volcano can erupt multiple times a day.
