Mount Vesuvius is an active stratovolcano located in Italy, known for its explosive eruptions. It features a summit crater that is about 1.5 kilometers wide and has steep slopes formed by layers of lava, ash, and volcanic rock. The volcano is famous for its catastrophic eruption in AD 79, which buried the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Additionally, Vesuvius is part of a larger volcanic complex, with a history of both explosive and effusive eruptions.
