It is located in the Campanian volcanic arc, alongside other volcanoes in this subduction zone formed by the colliding of the Eurasian and African tectonic plates.]]> 2017-06-28 15:04:04 UTC https://padlet.com/coineg/jmxx7ramsfuf/wish/177660249 Vesuvius' Size coineg https://padlet.com/coineg/jmxx7ramsfuf/wish/177660903 The main cone of Mount Vesuvius, where the historical eruptions have come from, rests at 1,281 meters (4,203 feet). This height is constantly changed by each new eruption. ]]> 2017-06-28 15:12:18 UTC https://padlet.com/coineg/jmxx7ramsfuf/wish/177660903 The Volcano's Status coineg https://padlet.com/coineg/jmxx7ramsfuf/wish/177661704 Mount Vesuvius is still regarded as an active volcano. It has experienced 8 (major) eruptions in the last 17,000 years - the earliest being the famous eruption in 79AD which destroyed the city of Pompeii, and the most recent being in 1944 during WW2. Nobody was killed in the 1940's eruption, as the flowing lava and moving gases were slow enough to evacuate the closest cities in the "danger zone", but it was widely reported upon as it happened so close to the Allied Forces base in Naples (it was also exciting for the reporters not to have to write about war casualties for the first time in years). ]]> 2017-06-28 15:22:41 UTC https://padlet.com/coineg/jmxx7ramsfuf/wish/177661704 Sources Cited coineg https://padlet.com/coineg/jmxx7ramsfuf/wish/177662447 - War History Online (https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/mount-vesuvius-erupted-seventy-years-ago.html)
