People were able to return to the area around Mount Vesuvius after it erupted once the volcanic activity had subsided, the air quality improved, and the risk of further eruptions was deemed to be low. However, the exact timing of when it was safe to return varied depending on the specific eruption event and its impact.

The Roman resort that was buried after Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 was Pompeii. The city was a thriving commercial hub and leisure destination for affluent Romans, but the eruption buried it in ash and pumice, preserving the city's ruins for centuries. Today, Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage site and a popular tourist destination for its well-preserved artifacts and insights into ancient Roman life.

Scientists, geologists, and historians have extensively studied Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located in Italy that famously erupted in 79 AD, burying the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. These studies focus on understanding the volcano's eruptive history, volcanic activity, and impact on the surrounding area to better predict future eruptions and mitigate risks for the local population.

Mount Vesuvius is an active stratovolcano located in Italy, famous for its eruption in 79 AD that destroyed the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world due to its frequent eruptions and proximity to densely populated areas. Its last eruption was in 1944.

Mount Vesuvius is approximately 4,203 feet (1,281 meters) tall. Its last eruption was in 1944.

The 1631 eruption of Mount Vesuvius lasted for a few days. Reports of time suggest from 2 or 3 days to 4 or 5 days, after which the volcano was only about one third its former altitude. Links can be found below.

Yes, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD released a mixture of hot gas, ash, and rock fragments into the atmosphere. This volcanic gas included toxic substances like sulfur dioxide and hydrogen chloride, posing a serious threat to the surrounding area.

In AD 79, Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii andHerculaneum. These towns were near Rome, Italy.

Mount Vesuvius covered the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum during its eruption in 79 AD. The volcanic ash and pumice buried these ancient Roman settlements, preserving them for centuries and providing valuable insights into daily life during that time period.

Mount Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD completely buried the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum under thick layers of ash and pumice, preserving them for centuries. The volcanic deposits also enriched the soil in surrounding areas, making it highly fertile for agriculture. However, the continuous eruptions of Mount Vesuvius have also posed risks to the land by causing destruction and loss of life.

Elevation: 1,281 M (4,203 FT).

Mount Vesuvius is located near the city of Pompeii, in the Campania region of southern Italy. It is visible from various parts of the ancient city, and the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD is what famously buried Pompeii under layers of ash and pumice.

No, there have been no reports of an eruption from Mount Vesuvius today. The last eruption of Mount Vesuvius occurred in 1944.

Yes, Pliny the Younger survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. As he described in a letter to the historian Tacitus, Pliny the Younger and his mother fled from their home in Misenum, escaping by ship across the Bay of Naples to safety.

Mount Vesuvius has been climbed countless times by hikers, tourists, and geologists. The volcano attracts numerous visitors each year due to its historical significance and stunning views of the surrounding area.

Mount Vesuvius has erupted around 30 times since its most famous eruption in 79 AD. The frequency of eruptions varies, but on average, it erupts every 100 years, with the last eruption occurring in 1944.

From 6 January to 23 February 1944, lava flows appeared within the rim and there were outflows. The activity paused on 23 February and resumed on 13 March. Small explosions then occurred until the major explosion took place on 18 March 1944

The origin of the name has not been exactly defined. Vesuvius came from a now extinct language of Southern Italy, a word 'fesf' meaning smoke. An alternative explanation was that Hercules was also known as Vesouvios (son of Ves) and this name changed over the years to Vesuvius. The Greeks and Romans believed that Vesuvius was the dwelling place of Hercules

No, the most famous eruption in recorded history was in AD 79. This eruption demolished and covered the cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, causing over 16,000 people to be killed.

Mt Vesuvius is still regarded as an active volcano.

yes Stromboli is a hot spot because you can watch it explode

The last officially recorded (minor) eruption of Mount Rainier was in 1854 although there are unofficial eyewitness acounts of activity in 1858, 1870, 1879, 1882 and 1894 as well. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world. It is heavily glaciated and when it blows it will likely produce massive debris avalanches, and has enormous lahars (volcanic mudflows) due to the large amount of glacial ice present. Lahars from previous mudflows have reached all the way to Puget Sound. Around 5,000 years ago, a large chunk of the volcano slid away and that debris avalanche helped to produce the massive Osceola Mudflow, which went all the way to the site of present-day Tacoma and south Seattle. Clearly the greatest environmental effect would be the lahar flows which would wash away towns and cities in their path and bury the area in avalanche debris and mud. It is doubtful the towns and cities would be rebuilt any time soon. Previous debris flows filled river valleys to a depth of hundreds of feet near the volcano, and have buried the land surface under many feet of mud and rock sixty miles downstream. A major lahar flow would significantly alter the course of rivers in the area and dump significant amounts of material - much of it toxic to aquatic life - into the ocean.

A second source of environmental impact from an eruption of Mount Rainier would be ash and gases injected into the atmosphere during an eruption. Enormous volumes of ash and the gas SO2, injected into the atmosphere

by large eruptions, can cause global cooling, shortening growing seasons and reducing crop yields. Ironically, eruptions of Mount Rainier usually produce much less volcanic ash than do eruptions at the smallerMount St. Helens. Nevertheless ash from a full eruption would likely spread ash across a wide area choking animals near the volcano. The released gases and ash would cause a temporary cooling of the earth, primarily in the northern hemisphere. Deposited ash would probably kill off plant life where it formed thick layers, but add a little bit of useful nutrients to soils where the deposits were light.
