Volcanic Eruptions: 79 AD Versus the Present ATOC 250: Natural Disasters Term Paper Abstract: Volcanic eruptions can be disastrous and deadly.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD on Pompeii and surrounding areas proved to be catastrophic because of the location of the volcano and especially since citizens

When it awoke‚ it caused seismic swarm activation in many volcanos in the region. There was also a major earthquake along with the many eruptions. The eruption tore most of the south western part of the volcano off and around 5‚000 people were killed as a result of it. The volcanic ash fell as far as San Francisco‚ which is 2‚996.8 miles from Santa Maria. The volcano didn’t
