distance went unnoticed until an explosion rocked the streets. Panic broke out as people tried to flee the city and parents made vain efforts to protect their children from the falling ash and rocks that would cover the city. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius did not just demolish a city‚ it wiped out an entire civilization. Beginning in the year 62 CE‚ violent earthquakes rocked the region‚ warning of volcanic activity. The eruption‚ beginning that fateful August morning‚ lasted over 24 hours. The eruption

form of a narrative in which the speaker described how she received her name‚ without her awareness as an infant and soon when she got a glimpse of the world around her‚ she realized that she has the will to choose. As Adrienne Rick‚ the author of “Vesuvius at Home: The Power of Emily Dickinson‚" described it‚ it is an “imagery of being "twice-born" or‚ in Christian liturgy‚ "confirmed"” (Rich‚ 1979). The first two lines indicated the speaker resisting who others sought her to be. The diction of found

form rich soils. When they do become soils though‚ they form some of the richest ones on the planet. Places such as the African Rift Valley‚ Mt Elgon in Uganda‚ and the slopes of Vesuvius in Italy all have productive soils thanks to the breaking down of volcanic rocks and ash. The Naples area‚ which includes Mount Vesuvius‚ has such rich soils thanks to two large eruptions 35‚000 and 12000 years ago. Both eruptions produced very thick deposits of ash and broken rocks which have weathered to rich soils

Pompeii‚ a Roman city with a population of about 20‚000‚ was annihilated by Mount Vesuvius on August 26‚ 79 AD. It wasn’t until 1595‚ when artifacts from Pompeii were excavated. Centuries of raiding and looting then followed. In the mid-nineteenth century‚ archaeological excavations began‚ revealing to the modern world the way the people lived (and died) in 79 A.D. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius was‚ in fact‚ the downfall of the ancient city‚ Pompeii‚ but people today still wonder how it all happened

Pompeii‚ the ancient Roman city of Campania‚ Italy‚ lies on the southeast of Naples and at the southeastern base of Mount Vesuvius. “The frozen city”‚ perhaps became famous after the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Pompeii‚ however‚ did not start as a Roman city. The city is believed to have first been inhabited by a mixed population of Oscans‚ Greeks and Etruscans. It was at the end of the 5th century that the Samnities‚ an Italian tribe conquered Pompeii and its surrounding cities. The

On the 24th of August 79 A.D.‚ Mount Vesuvius destroyed Pompeii‚ an ancient Italian city. The staggering display of eruptions lasted for approximately 19 hours‚ continuing into the morning of the 25th. Research has shown that all of the 20‚000 citizens of Pompeii had the chance to escape this catastrophe; however with the lack of education and technology‚ no one had recognized the inherent danger of the mountain’s warnings. By the time Mount Vesuvius had finished its reign of terror‚ the affluent

Journal - Which one would be the most fun to explore‚ and why? I feel that visiting the Ancient remains of Pompeii would be the most fun and interesting to explore out of the small list. My reasoning for this is fairly simple. In 79 AD when Mount Vesuvius erupted‚ it buried the entire city in heavy volcanic ash that actually preserved majority of the city’s contents for a long period of time. Based on the photos and virtual tour‚ the city was indeed preserved very well! It appears that majority of
