Hello students in Mrs. Vinson's language arts classes! You are studying an interesting subject today. Pompeii is an extinct city. Mount Vesuvius erupted on a Tuesday, August 24 in AD 79. The eruption began with a small explosion and a thin layer of ash between 9-10 a.m. A massive explosion happened at 1 p.m., emitting a huge eruption cloud.
What other facts do you know?

Once Mount Vesuvius exploded it sent an avalanch going over 150 miles per hour and was over 1000 degrees F. It immediately coved everything.

Robert Sigerson was one of the archelogist that discovered the pyroclastic flow that killed 5,000 people when Mount Vesuvius erupted and sent hot gases and molten rock into the air. That formed a deadly pyroclastic flow.

When the ash hardened it made cast of the bodies in Pompeii.Scientist now realize that the bodies have no evidence of injury on the body's or that they were trapped or crushed. they also think the people of Pompeii may have been buried alive.

Scientist who dicovered the bodies remains said that most of them were found in hollow places wherever they were when the volcano errupted.- Discovery Education Video
Pompeii wasn't dicovered until 1500 years after the volcano errupted.- Dicovery Health Video
Pompeii wasn't dicovered until 1594 and scientist found more than 2000 body remains.-Discovery Health Video

The ash was hotter than 1000 degrees, killing more than 5000 people. Vesuvuis spilled out 5000 tons of rock. The volcano has erupted a dozen times since then. Urculian as gone in seconds. Toxic gas covered Pompeii. -Facts by the Discovery Eduction video.

The story of Pompeii is terrifying. I would hate to be in that situation.Toxic gas filled the air and killed anyone who didn't leave or was crushed by the huge rocks.
The ones who left took their most valable things.Including marble slabs from the floor.
Mount Vesuvious was truely unleashing his fury that day!

About one thousand bodies were uncovered - Discovery Education Video Pompeii wasn't discovered until 1594 - Discovery Education Video The eruption happened in 79 A.D. killing more than 5000 people -Discovery Education Video When Vesuvius erupted it covered Pompeii for 1500 years - Discovery Education Video Ashleigh C.

When Vesuvius erupted in AD 1879 some were scared to flee Pompeii. But,my intersting fact is that nobody in Pompeii knew that Vesuvius was a volcano they thought it was a regular mountain.That's amazing.

When Pompeii erupted in 79 A.D, it was so fast that molds were made around the people, animals, and buildings. Plaster was poured into the ash molds to re-create the scenery of that day. Since then, there have been twelve more eruptions of Vesuvius.

From: Hannah R.
When Vesuvius erupted it was the type of eruption that only happens every 2,000-5,000 years.It was a molten rock eruption,which would actually be called an explosion in this case.
As it erupted toxic gas from Vesuvius covered all of Pompeii killing many people in its path.
The lava, ash,and rock from vesuvius was over 1,000 degrees F. It killed many people of Pompeii and that day will always be remembered.
