So my volcano caused the deaths of 2,000 lives of men and women. The name of my volcano is Mount Vesuvius and back in august 79 AD it caused the city of Pompeii to be destroyed. Volcanos can go off at anytime and anywhere. Earlier before the volcano erupted it was a hot sunny day and the sun was beating down on all the citizens of Pompeii and made them all move to the middle where the water fountain was. As most people went to the middle the volcano started to erupt and put a cloud of ash that was filled with gases and molten rocks (livescience, 2015).

The cost of the damage of Pompeii being destroyed was never recalled because there was nobody left and the city was covered in ash for hundreds of years.

Some people died and the families never even found out. Some families moved on and went and started a new life and forgot about the whole incident. Also some tried to go back but they didn’t know where the city was because it was covered in hot burning ash. Also some families made it out but their kids didn’t because of how slow they ran and probably how fast the parents ran to get to safety. People couldn’t prepare for it because it was unpredictable and also because they didn’t
