2. Volcanoes

3. Mt.Vesuvius In AD 79 Mount Vesuvius erupted. Ash and pumice covered the sky to create an ash cloud. People suffocated and died. The people did not know it was a volcano.

4. Pompeii Pompeii was a place near Mount Vesuvius. Pompeii had a population of between 1000 and 2000 people. None of them knew Mount Vesuvius was a volcano at the time.

5. The eruption The eruption was a very strange one because there was no lava involved. It was known as one of the worst in the world. It would take a long time to clear up the mess.

6. The Biggest Volcano in the World Mauna Loa is the biggest volcano in the world. It’s in Hawai’i. It’s a shield volcano.

7. Ring Of Fire The ring of fire is in the Pacific Ocean. It’s shaped like a ring. There are 452 both active and dormant volcanoes in the ring of fire. I wouldn’t like to live there!

8. Here’s some pictures of Mount Vesuvius

9. Evaluation I think I could have included more facts about the ring of fire. I should have put sound on all of my slides I think my picture page was good
