High eruption violence.
Mount Vesuvius has a high viscosity magma, which means it is thick and does not flow easily. This contributes to explosive eruptions as gases are trapped, leading to high levels of pressure build-up.
Stratovolcano (a composite volcano)
Similarities: They are both volcanoes, they are both stratovolcanoes, they both killed people, they both erupted, they both made huge ash clouds, they both made tremors, both had magma with high viscosity
Mount Etna is located in Sicily, Italy, and is one of the most active volcanoes in the world. Mount Vesuvius is located near Naples, Italy, and is famous for its eruption in 79 AD that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Etna is a shield volcano with frequent eruptions, while Vesuvius is a stratovolcano that has experienced periodic major eruptions throughout history.
No. No mountain on Earth is even close to that height. Mount Vesuvius has an elevation of 4,203 feet, less than a mile. The tallest mountain on Earth, Mount Everest, is 29,029 feet or 5.5 miles high. The eruption column of the 79 eruption of Mount Vesuvius reach a height of about 20 miles. This was not part of the mountain but a plume of ash and gas.

Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano six miles(9 kilometers) east of the city of Naples, Italy.
Stratovolcano (a composite volcano)
Pompeii isn't a volcano; it was a city. However in August 79 A.D Mount Vesuvius (a volcano located in Campania, Italy) erupted destroying the city and its sister city Herculaneum. The eruption may have killed more than 16,000 people and the ash, mud and rock from the eruption buried the city of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Although you did ask how high a volcano was, so I'll tell you how high Vesuvius is to be fair; Mount Vesuvius is 4190 feet tall.

Elevation: 1,281 M (4,203 FT).
Mount Vesuvius' magma is comprised mostly of pumice stone. It is low density molten rock that erupts at a high temperature.
The magma beneath Mount St. Helens is typically of low viscosity due to its composition, which is rich in silica and gas. This low viscosity magma allows for gases to escape easily, resulting in explosive eruptions.
Mt Vesuvius is still regarded as an active volcano.
Mt Fuji is3886m above sea level. it is concidered active even though it hant eerupted for many years. it is 12388 feet
