This city of 3.085 million people is only 6 miles away from the most dangerous volcano in the world, Mount Vesuvius. This volcano has an intense history of being fairly active and devastatingly disastrous. The 79 AD eruption killed thousands of inhabitants in the Roman city of Pompeii.

Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano that is located at a convergent boundary, therefore making the city of Naples put in danger. This is because the water that’s brought down at the site of a convergent boundary increases the risk of eruption.

With Mount Vesuvius being this close to the major city of Naples, if it were to erupt at a volcanic level of VEI 4 or 5, there potentially could be the death of over 10,000 people. This could also result in the millions of people losing power, access to water, and transportation possibly for months.

1.) Although the 79 AD explosion was quite ferocious, it only last about 24 hours. If it was that dangerous, what would have happened if it erupted longer?

2.) The people of Pompeii didn’t know they lived next to a volcano until it was too late!

3.) Under Vesuvius scientists have detected a tear in the African plate that Mount Vesuvius is located on. This tear allows hear from the earth to rise and put pressure, and we all know that the more pressure there is the more explosive the next eruption will be.

4.) Mount Vesuvius is actually two volcanoes. While Mount Vesuvius is the main vent, there is another mountain attached to it called Monte Somma.

5.) The magma built up underneath Mount Vesuvius measures a distance of 154 square miles; covering quite closely to the city of Naples.

To ensure the safety of the citizens, there’s the Vesuvius Observatory that has volcanologists monitoring Mount Vesuvius 24/7. This base is constantly looking for any signs of eruptions so they can notify the people of Naples before a disaster occurs.

The government of Italy has an emergency evacuation plan to move the people away from danger. This plan aims to evacuate people within the “red zone” in just 72 hours.
