The destruction of Pompeii in 79 A.D. was done by what volcano?

Mount Vesuvius, a volcano located between the ancient Italian cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum, has received much attention because of its frequent and destructive eruptions. The most famous of these eruptions occurred in A. D. 79.The volcano had been inactive for centuries. There was little warning of the coming eruption, although one account unearthed by archaeologists says that a hard rain and a strong wind had disturbed the celestial calm during the preceding night.Early the next morning, the volcano poured a huge river of molten rock down upon Herculaneum, completely burying the city and filling in the harbor with coagulated lava.  Meanwhile, on the other side of the mountain, cinders, stone and ash rained down on Pompeii. Sparks from the burning ash ignited the combustible rooftops quickly. Large portions of the city were destroyed in the conflagration. Fire, however, was not the only cause of destruction. Poisonous sulphuric gases saturated the air. These heavy gases were not buoyant in the atmosphere and therefore sank toward the earth and suffocated people.  Over the years, excavations of Pompeii and Herculaneum have revealed a great deal about the behavior of the volcano. By analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects a specimen animal, scientists have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area's geography. Herculaneum and its harbor were buried under ___lava.(1 Point)(1 Point)Can not be detreminedFlowingGasLiquidSolid

When Mount Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D., Pompeii was covered in a layer of ash that preserved everything it touched for years to come. This included the rampant graffiti left behind on the city walls. In 2018, archaeologists uncovered an inscription that has challenged accepted knowledge about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Pliny the Younger, an ancient Roman whose account of the eruption (written 25 years after the event itself) has been taken as fact for many years, wrote that Mount Vesuvius erupted in August of 79 A.D. However, the inscription is dated October 16, 79 A.D., suggesting that ------ Which choice most logically completes the text?Mount Vesuvius may have erupted later than previously thought.eliminatethe people living in Pompeii used a different calendar than Pliny the Younger.eliminategraffiti in Pompeii is not reliable source for historical information.eliminateMount Vesuvius may have erupted earlier than previously thought.

2) What natural disaster were the people of Pompeii accustomed to experiencing?

Buried by an eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 B.C.E., the city of Pompeii was perfectly preserved under mounds of ash and rock. Due to its preservation, Pompeii has become an incredibly important tool through which archeologists can learn about Roman life in the 1st century B.C.E. After excavating a bakery in Pompeii, archaeologists found a small room containing chained-up humans and donkeys. The room had one barred window and contained the tools necessary for milling flour to make bread. These findings allowed archaeologists to conclude that it is likely that -------Which choice most logically completes the text?donkeys were mistreated by enslaved workers in Pompeii. eliminateslave labor was used for jobs like milling flour in Rome in the 1st century B.C.E.eliminatework animals and slaves were left to perish in the eruption of Mt.

By analyzing data, much as a zoologist dissects a specimen animal, scientist have concluded that the eruption changed large portions of the area's geography. For instance, it turned the Sarno River from its course and raised the level of the beach along the Bay of Naples. Meteorologists studying these events have also concluded that Vesuvius caused a huge tidal wave that affected the world's climate. In addition to making these investigations, archaeologists have been able to study the skeletons of victims by using distilled water to wash away the volcanic ash. By strengthening the brittle bones with acrylic paint, scientists have been able to examine the skeletons and draw conclusions about the diet and habits of the residents. Finally, the excavations at both Pompeii and Herculaneum have yielded many examples of classical art, such as jewelry made of bronze, which is an alloy of copper and tin.    The eruption of Mount Vesuvius and its tragic consequences have provided us with a wealth of data about the effects that volcanoes can have on the surrounding area. Today volcanologists can locate and predict eruptions, saving lives and preventing the destruction of cities and cultures.(1 Point)(1 Point)Cannot be determinedScientist who study animal behaviorScientist who study ashScientist who study atmospheric conditionsScientist who study oceans
