Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano, found in Italy, 9 miles from Naples. It stands at 4, 190 feet high, and at its base is 30 miles wide. In 1944 it erupted, making it rhe only volcano in Europe to have erupted in the last century. Mount Vesuvius is famous for its destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD, when its eruption killed thousands of people and buried the city.  ]]> 2016-10-13 10:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/14002718/l5egg3lzm90d/wish/130377760 14002718 https://padlet.com/14002718/l5egg3lzm90d/wish/130377787 2016-10-13 10:22:09 UTC https://padlet.com/14002718/l5egg3lzm90d/wish/130377787 14002718 https://padlet.com/14002718/l5egg3lzm90d/wish/130378016

Magma rises through cracks or weaknesses in the Earth's crust.

Pressure builds up inside the Earth.

When this pressure is released, eg as a result of plate movement, magma explodes to the surface causing a volcanic eruption.

The lava from the eruption cools to form new crust.

Over time, after several eruptions, the rock builds up and a volcano forms.

Some magma will also be forced out of the secondary vent at the side of the volcano.]]> 2016-10-13 10:26:22 UTC https://padlet.com/14002718/l5egg3lzm90d/wish/130378511 14001639 https://padlet.com/14002718/l5egg3lzm90d/wish/130379198 Mount Etna
