Vesuvius brings earthquakes that usually preceded volcanic eruptions. For instance, there was a strong earthquake in 62 A.D., before the powerful eruption in 79 A.D. The earthquake also caused severe damages in Naples. Before the eruption of 1631, minor earthquakes also occurred frequently. Although there is no more eruption after 1944, there are many small earthquakes near Mount Vesuvius region. To some extent, earthquakes can be the signs of upcoming eruptions. In addition, volcanic eruptions are sometimes accompanied with tsunami. A volcanic case study from Tulane University indicates that tsunamis were generated when pyroclastic flows from Vesuvius entered the sea during 79 A.D. eruption. Another article brought by the National Earth Science Teachers Association(NESTA) described that during the 1631 eruption, a tsunami hit the shores
