Mount Vesuvius

At the time of the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 of the Common Era, Vesuvius was largely a vacation spot on the Gulf of Naples for wealthy Roman landowners who had numerous villas in the area. Although the eruption killed all inhabitants in area and surrounding regions and was mentioned in Pliny's writing, the buried city became "lost" to history until 1749 when it was rediscovered by the Spanish engineer Joaquin de Alcubierre. The area around Pompeii was agriculturally rich and the citizens who owned farms became wealthy. Much of the produce was last to commerce. Rome, itself, essentially lost its vacation spot but continued to prosper and grow into the vast Roman Empire. Excavations since have determined that the citizenry of the cities, Pompeii and Herculaneum died from intense heat (482-degrees Fahrenheit) rather than ash. The recovered remains of the cities have provided historians, art historians, sociologists and anthropologists with considerable information about daily life in one of Rome's most prosperous "colonies."

Mount Vesuvius has experienced eight major eruptions in the last 17,000 years. The 79 AD eruption is one of the most well-known ancient eruptions in the world, and may have killed more than 16,000 people.

If you mean Positano, it's located in Campania, in the south-east of Italy, near Naples

i think it is a 100 mile radius

It didn't

400 miles

Capri is an island in the Bay of Naples known for its rugged landscape, upscale shops, and iconic Blue Grotto sea cave. It is a popular destination for tourists seeking stunning views and a glamorous atmosphere.

Mount Vesuvius is near Naples, Italy. Very far from Chicago ;)

It's simple to survive any volcanic eruption; be somewhere else when it happens. For pyroclastic volcanoes like Vesuvius, hopefully many miles away.

Approximately 2,000 people died during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

Your question is impossible to answer because we don't know how many people were there in the first place. We do know that many escaped, probably the majority of residents in the area. I know this answer is vague, but there are no solid numbers.

As with some other eruptions, the magma in the 79 AD eruption of Mount Vesuvius was different from how may people think about it. It was extremly viscous and had large amounts of gas trapped in it. So, instead of flowing or fountaining out of the volcano, the magma came out explosively. As it was blasted into the air, most of it formed into fine particles fo glass called volcanic ahs, while some of the larger globs formed pumice.

Mount Vesuvius was formed due to the subduction of the African plate beneath the Eurasian plate. This process led to the melting of the mantle, which produced magma that eventually reached the surface, forming the volcano. Over time, the continuous eruption of lava and volcanic ash built up the mountain as we see it today.

Mount Vesuvius is near the city of Naples in Italy. It is 5.6 miles from Naples and was the volcano that erupted in 79 AD which killed 16,000 people and buried Pompeii.

ure a loser.

Pliny the Younger was the Roman who documented the eruption of Vesuvius. However he was not a historian, but a governor and his description of the eruption was written in one of his letters.

In 79 AD it erupted and buried the city of Pompeii, Italy. The entire population that didn't escape was buried and for centuries the city laid buried until it was uncovered. Today 65 acres can be seen of what a city in 79 AD looked like.

mount vesuvius happened in the morning of august 24th A.D

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.

Mount Vesuvius is not located within the Ring of Fire. However, it is still an active volcano located in Italy, near the city of Naples. The Ring of Fire is a horseshoe-shaped area in the Pacific Ocean basin that is known for its frequent earthquakes and volcanic activity.
