Pompeii dead got covered in ash, because they were killed by an eruption of a volcano and the volcano spread ashes on them after they were burned.

The volcano name is Mount Vesuvius, though I'm not sure if that's how you spell it.

How did people escape the eruption of Mount Vesuvius?

Some people were able to escape the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD by fleeing the area as soon as the volcano showed signs of activity. Others sought refuge indoors or in underground areas. Those who did not evacuate in time were unfortunately overwhelmed by the volcanic ash and pyroclastic flows.

Mount Vesuvius scientists helping to predict eruptions?

They are sure trying since if it erupts 3 million people will be in the way. I just saw a Discovery program on it and they think they can map earthquakes to eruptions. By graphing the history of earthquakes in the area and when an eruption happened they were able to show a correlation. How strong it is is still the question. The volcano is one of the best watched in the world, but they still don't have all her secrets.

What are facts about Mt Vesuvius?

Some people may believe that Pompeii was overtaken by flowing lava, like the lava you see in the currently active Hawaiian volcanos. That did not happen. Pompeii was buried in a heavy rain of volcanic ash, and the people who died there were overcome in moments by an extremely hot pyroclastic flow, not by lava per se.

Here are some more myths:

One of the myths is that were disproved over time was that a completely intact city was rediscovered, which was wrong because the Pompeians, who had escaped, returned to their city when the ashes had cooled and removed some of the most precious treasures from the resort, but they left plenty behind to be uncovered at a later date and carted off to museums throughout Europe and America.

Another myth is that was disproved over time was that no body from Pompeii escaped, that everyone was either buried or they died when Mount Vesuvius erupted. The truth is that there were over 12,000 people and most Pompeians were able to escape before the final devastating eruption. There were only 1,100 bodies that had been uncovered which indicates that a portion of the residents were too slow or were unwilling to abandon the town during the first phase of the eruption.

Did pompeii have a school?

There is evidence of there being lessons for school aged children in Pompeii but very little is known about what was taught and where as there have been no school buildings found anywhere in the town.

However there is evidence that there was no set place for children to be taught, instead their teacher would just take his/her class anywhere where there was an available spot. e.g. the forum.

We know there were schools in Pompeii due to a carving on the wall of one if the exercise areas which talks about school fees being paid along with a list of who had paid and who hadn't.

How many people were injured in ad 79 by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius?

The tectonic plates moved under each other causing the earthquakes in 62AD which carried on for many years until one plate was under the other, the friction was great.

It got so hot because of the friction that one plate melted. The liquid rock that was produced (called magma) underneath the tectonic plate, got so hot that it gave off a poisonous gas that kept pushing and pushing through the volcano until it burst out of the top.

The burst of poisonous gas,

Ash and earth was pushed up in the sky and then the magma was also pushed out by the gas and was also pushed up into the sky. The magma ran down the vast volcano and burnt everything in its path including all greenery

And housing.

The sky was black and the atmosphere was extremely hot and humid, the ground became dry and all the plants perished.

The people of these towns and cities mostly died of the poisonous gas. Over 300,000 people were killed by poisonous gas alone but lots also died from the magma that overflowed from Mount Vesuvius.

What type of volcano is Mt vesuvius?

Mt. Vesuvius is a stratovolcano (periodic, explosive eruptions and a steep profile) It is a steep conical volcano. Its structure has been built up of solidified lava, pumice, and ash, one layer at a time: a legacy of all the eruptions of the volcano over time. Because of its layered structure, it is also known as a composite volcano, a subtype. Lastly, because it began as a new cone that partially filled, then filled and overflowed an existing caldera), in this particular case, that of Mt. Somma,* it is commonly, though erroneously called, a somma volcano, but the somma volcano is really the structure that underlies the new structure, a sub-subtype.


*This is the namesake of all such volcanoes. Now all volcanoes that spawn new cones, partially filling their calderas, are called, somma volcanoes. When the new cones outgrow the old calderas they are given names of their own. Then, the underlying structure remains the somma volcano.
