Description of Mt. Vesuvius Height- 1277 meters (4190 feet) Base- 48 km (30 miles) Location- Southern Italy near Naples Age- 17,000 years old Eruptions- Over 50 (Most famous in 79 A.D.)

History of Mt. Vesuvius The most famous and destructive eruption of Mt. Vesuvius occurred in A.D. 79. On August 24 of 79 A.D, the area around Mt. Vesuvius, shook with a huge earth quake. The mountains top split open and a monstrous cloud raced upward. Mount Vesuvius means “unextinguished”. Mount Vesuvius has erupted more than 50 times since 79 A.D. The great eruption of 1631 is the largest explosive eruption of Mt. Vesuvius since those of 472 and 512 A.D.

Damage from Mt. Vesuvius Mt. Vesuvius covered the town in piles of ash and the less well known Herculaneum in volcanic mud, suffocating people and preserving their bodies. Mount Vesuvius killed over 16,000 people.

Why did Vesuvius erupt? The pooling of magma in the crust below Mount Vesuvius can gradually build pressure on the rocks above. The rocks can be pushed upward until some part of the structure gives away, at which point hot rock and gases explode from the crater.

Video and Type of Magma Mt. Vesuvius The type of magma is felsic. Felsic means that it is rich in silica and metals.
