Discovering Aspects Of Mount Vesuvius

mount vesuvius tickets

Geology

  • Mount Vesuvius is located at the Gulf of Naples in Italy.
  • It is said to be the only volcano to have erupted in the last 100 years on the European mainland and was created due to a clash of the African and Eurasian tectonic plates around 25,000 years ago.
  • This Pompeii volcano grew in and is seated in the crater of the Mount Somma volcano.
  • Vesuvius is considered to be a volatile volcano due to the presence of andesite, a volcanic rock that creates a particularly dangerous type of lava that leads to unpredictable and harmful eruptions.

Eruption

  • The most widely-studied Mount Vesuvius eruption is from back in 79 AD when the volcano erupted and ravaged the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
  • The eruption spewed a massive cloud of gases and tephra, along with pumice, molten rock and hot ash, up to about 33 km in air.
  • Scientific inquiries estimate that about 1.5 million tons of volcanic lava spewed out per second, creating unparalleled thermal energy approximately 100,000 times more dangerous than the World War II bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
  • History has recorded about eight occurrences of major eruptions over the last 17,000 years.

Destruction

  • According to recordings in history, the volcanic eruption lasted for about two days; previously, signs of smoke and minor fissures went largely unnoticed by the population since minor tremors were common in the region of Campania.
  • While the exact number of casualties is unknown, it is believed that almost the entire population of 20,000 citizens between the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum, were killed.
  • The rapid pace at which the lava and volcanic debris moved through the small towns left no chance of survival
  • This incident is said to have completely changed the region’s coastline landscape.
