Scott Horton Timothy Kennedy Mt. Vesuvius, Italy Scott Horton Timothy Kennedy

The plates involved and location African plate and Eurasian plate Convergent Location: bay of Naples

Explanation of tectonics African plate pushed beneath Eurasian plate forming Mt. Vesuvius Created submerged volcano deep below surface Later, Mount Vesuvius emerged from the ocean as an island and over time has connected to the mainland due to the buildup of deposits from its eruptions

Geologic History 79 A.D. first volcanic eruption ever to be described in detail; buried towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum Most devastating, over 16,000 people died In 5960 B.C. and 3580 B.C. Vesuvius had two eruptions that rate among largest known in Europe Vesuvius has erupted about three dozen times since 79 A.D., most recently from 1913-1944. The 1913-1944 eruption is thought to be the end of an eruptive cycle that began in 1631.

Safety around Mt. Vesuvius Scientist study volcano to give warning Have evacuation procedures for local residences Recommend any visitors look over procedures Have procedures for if you are caught in a eruption

Recent History AD 79, 203, 472, 512, 787, 968, 991, 999, 1007 Dormant for many years 1631, 1660, 1682, 1694, 1698, 1707, 1737, 1760, 1767, 1779, 1794, 1822, 1834, 1939, 1850, 1855, 1861, 1868, 1872, 1906, 1944 Dormant sense Average 4 ½ to 7 years

Potential Impacts Considered the most dangerous volcano Over Half Million people live on or around mountain Eruption are catastrophic Not expected to erupt any time soon
