  • Mount Vesuvius Is Located on the Gulf of Naples, in Italy
    Mount Vesuvius is located on the Gulf of Naples, in Italy. It is close to the coast and lies around 9km from the city of Naples. Despite being the only active volcano on mainland Europe, and one of the most dangerous volcanoes, almost 3 million people live in the immediate area. Did you know..? Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944. Photo courtesy of Ross Elliot(@flickr.com) - granted under creative commons licence – attribution Mount Vesuvius is one of a number of volcanoes that form the Campanian volcanic arc. This is a series of volcanoes that are active, dormant or extinct. Vesuvius Campi Flegrei Stromboli Mount Vesuvius is actually a Vulcano Panarea volcano within a volcano. Mount Etna Somma is the remain of a large Campi Flegrei del volcano, out of which Mount Mar di Sicilia Vesuvius has grown. Did you know..? Mount Vesuvius is 1,281m high. Mount Etna is another volcano in the Campanian arc. It is Europe’s most active volcano. Mount Vesuvius last erupted in 1944. This was during the Second World War and the eruption caused great problems for the newly arrived Allied forces. Aircraft were destroyed, an airbase was evacuated and 26 people died. Three villages were also destroyed. 1944 was the last recorded eruption but scientists continue to monitor activity as Mount Vesuvius is especially dangerous. Did you know..? During the 1944 eruption, the lava flow stopped at the steps of the local church in the village of San Giorgio a Cremano. The villagers call this a miracle!

    This colonnade forms part of the forum. The forum was a public square which would have been used for meetings, criminal trials, public speeches, and markets. Colonnade Many streets remain in Pompeii. Here you can see cobbled streets with pavements on each side. In the distance is Mount Vesuvius – the volcano that destroyed Pompeii. Street In ancient Pompeii, there were many types of entertainment. One popular pastime was the theatre where people went to watch plays. This theatre had space for 1,000 spectators. Odeon – small theatre The Romans worshipped many gods. This temple is dedicated to Apollo, the god of music, and was built on a high platform to make it look more impressive. Temple of Apollo The House of the Vettii was one of the most impressive and richly decorated houses in Pompeii. It was named after the owners, Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus. House of the Vettii The Romans use mosaics to decorate wealthy houses and public buildings. Each mosaic used thousands of tesserae (small pieces of tile or stone) to create a picture or pattern. Mosaic Another popular way of decorating rooms was with wall paintings (frescoes). This one, in the Casa del Menandro (House of Menander) shows a hunting party. Can you see the dogs and the man with a bow and arrow? Paintings in Casa del Menandro Myths and legends were a common source of inspiration for Roman artists. This painting depicts Narcissus who was so beautiful that he fell in love with his own reflection.

  • 35 Ayu Narwastu Ciptahening1 & Noppadol Phienwej2
    Paper Number: 35 Geohazards risk assessment for disaster management of Mount Merapi and surrounding area, Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia. Ayu Narwastu Ciptahening1 & Noppadol Phienwej2 1 Universitas Pembangunan Nasional (UPN) “Veteran” Yogyakarta, Indonesia, E-mail [email protected] 2 Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand ___________________________________________________________________________ It is well-known that there exists a very active volcano situated in Central Java and Yogyakarta Special Region, Indonesia, called Mount Merapi. It is classified into one of the most active volcanoes, even on the world. It mostly erupts in every 4 years. Deposits produced by its activity in Sleman Regency Yogyakarta Special Region of where the study located, can be divided into four rock units, namely Ancient Merapi, Middle Merapi, Recent Merapi, and Modern Merapi. In the 10th to 11th century Mount Merapi had been responsible to the decline of Hindu Mataram Kingdom, Central Java, by its eruptions. It was verified by the discovery of many ancient temples in Yogyakarta and surrounding areas, such as Temple Sambisari, Temple Kadisoka, and Temple Kedulan which were buried by volcanic deposits of Mount Merapi [1]. The eruption of Mount Merapi, in the year 2010 was recognized as the biggest eruption during recent decades and claimed about 300 lives and very large treasures, after the eruption. The type of eruption was changed from Merapi type in the activity period of 2006 and before to become the combination of Vulcanian type and Pelean type [2]. Due to the activities of the volcano that is very intensive, it can be underlined that the threats of geohazard faced by people living in the surrounding area of Yogyakarta is about the impact of volcanic eruptions [3].

  • Travel Through the History of Mount Vesuvius
    Travel Through the History of Mount Vesuvius Mount Vesuvius is one of the most well-known active volcanoes on the planet, and by far the most famous in Europe. It is about 30 thousand years old, but its most famous eruption impacted human history forever at Pompeii. Since then, it has been grumbling in Italy near Naples for about two thousand years. The results of the famous eruption froze an entire city, a beautiful time-capsule of an early Roman society, has encouraged travel to tourists and historians from all over the globe. Mount Vesuvius Despite its age, Vesuvius is still regarded as an active volcano. It is intensely monitored for activity, as about 3 million people live within range of its eruptions. Volcanoes are created due to irregularities in heat from the earth's mantle. Melting and cracking ensues and bubbles up from the surface. Vesuvius is classified as a stratovolcano, also known as a composite cone, similar to other famous volcanoes such as Mount Fuji in Japan and Mount Saint Helens in the United States. Statovolcanoes are dangerous due to their highly variable content, and eruptive style. Plinian eruptions, which Mount Vesuvius has produced, result in plumes of ash ascending up into the stratosphere, high above the earth's surface. Mount Vesuvius can produce both eruptions of ash and pyroclastic flows, making it unique. Even though all of this can be dangerous to humans, volcanoes like Vesuvius are important in the lifecycles of rocks on Earth. • Mount Vesuvius Image from Space • How Volcanoes Work � Stratovolcanoes • Volcanic Landforms and Plate Tectonics • Teacher and Lesson Resources for Vesuvius Pompeii On August 24, 79 CE., an individual nicknamed Pliny the Younger, or Caius Plinius, witnessed the horrible eruption that swept through Pompeii and Herculaneum in a letter to Cornelius Tacitus.

  • Structure of the Mount Vesuvius Volcano from Geophysical Exploration
    International Workshop on High Energy Earth Science: Muon and Neutrino Radiography (June 26-27, 2008, Tokyo, JAPAN) Structure of the Mount Vesuvius volcano from geophysical exploration M. Vassallo1,2; A. Zollo1; G. Festa1; C. Satriano2; L. D’Auria3; P. Gasparini1,2 and P. Strolin1 1 Dip. Scienze Fisiche, Università di Napoli Federico II, Italy 2 AMRA S.c.a.r.l., Napoli, Italy 3 Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica e Vulcanologia, Osservatorio Vesuviano, Napoli, Italy Mt. Vesuvius is a strato volcano near a densely populated area and only a few km southeast of Campi Flegrei, the active calderas on which the city of Napoli has been built. It is composed of a volcanic cone (Gran Cono) that was built within a summit caldera (Mount Somma). The Somma-Vesuvius complex has formed over the last 25,000 years by means of a sequence of eruptions of variable explosiveness, ranging from the quiet lava outpourings that characterized much of the latest activity (for example, from 1881 to 1899 and from 1926 to 1930) to the explosive Plinian eruptions, including the one that destroyed Pompeii and killed thousands of people in 79 A.D. It experienced at least three violent explosive eruptions in historical times (79, 472, and 1631 A.D.). More frequent, less explosive eruptions have occurred from 1631 to 1944. Mt. Vesuvius is presently in a quiescent state, characterized by low-temperature fumaroles (less than 100°C) and moderate seismic activity (about 100 earthquakes per year with magnitudes between 0.5 and 3.6), and it is difficult to predict when it may erupt explosively again.

  • Resident's Communication Behavior in Three Volcano Disaster Prone
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6; April 2014 Resident’s Communication Behavior in Three Volcano Disaster Prone Areas with Different Disaster Exposure Edi Puspito Sumardjo Titik Sumarti Pudji Muljono The Department of Community Development and Communication Sciences Post Graduate Programme Bogor Agriculral University Abstract Volcanic disaster gives various impacts on the environment depending on its exposure to the disaster. In addition to requiring different management, environmental changes due to volcanic disasters will form different behaviors. An effective communication between residents in disaster-prone areas with stakeholders is required to ease the risks as volcanic disasters. The objective of this research is to analyze resident’s communication behavior in volcanic disaster prone areas to for disaster preparedness in areas with different disaster exposure types. This research applied quantitative method. The conclusions of this study are amongst others the residents in the area exposed to the cold lava flood have better skill level on media usage than those of resident’s in other areas, and the residents have a good level of trust in media intervention, mainly for new programs. Keywords: disasters, volcanoes, communication behavior, readiness, risk Introduction Indonesia, which is geographically located in the ”Pacific Ring of Fire”, has more than 83 active volcanoes, and therefore potentially has frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. One of the volcanic eruptionswas of Mount Merapi in 2010 causing 242 death tolls in the Special Region of Yogyakarta and the other 97 fatalities in Central Java Province. The disaster impacts werenot only on the loss of lives but also the loss of assets and other productive resources of individuals and communities, causing economic vulnerability and poverty (Bappenas, BNPB 2011).

  • Mount Etna Kilauea
    Mount Etna Location: Sicily, Italy Height: 3,329 m (10,922 ft) Formed: 500,000 years ago Status: Active Mount Etna is the tallest active volcano in Europe, and the 59th tallest volcano in the world. It is also one of the most active volcanoes in the world, in an almost constant state of volcanic activity. This is due to the fact that it sits on top of the convergent boundary between the Eurasian and African tectonic plates. Throughout its history the eruptions of Mt. Etna have alternated between explosive, violent eruptions and flowing, gentle eruptions. There have been several major eruptions of Mt. Etna, leading to the formation of calderas on the summit of the mountain. Between 35,000 and 15,000 years ago, Mt. Etna released large pyroclastic flows, some of which traveled as far as 800 km from the volcano. In the last 100 years, there have been several major eruptions. These occurred in 1928, 1949, 1971, 1981, 1983, 1991, 1993, every year from 2001-2005, every year from 2007-2009, 2011, 2012, 2014, and most recently on December 3, 2015. Although Etna’s eruptions have been known to be violent and destructive, it has only claimed 77 lives in recorded history, and most of the damage it causes is to property and structures. In fact, most citizens that live near Mt. Etna consider it be a blessing, as its volcanic soils are rich and good for farming. Mt. Etna is closely monitored and is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy. Kilauea Location: Hawaii, U.S.

Exploring Modern Pompeii Written by Marian Vermeulen This free Book is offered to you by Timetravelrome - a Mobile App that finds and describes every significant ancient Roman city, fortress, theatre, or sanctuary in Europe, Middle East as well as across North Africa. www.timetravelrome.com 2 Part I TimeTravelRome || The Fury of Vesuvius Part I : Pompeii Lost Pompeii Lost Pompeii was one of the Roman cities that enjoyed the volcanic soils of Campania, the region surrounding Vesuvius. Pliny the Elder once called the area one of the loveliest places on earth. Vesuvius had not erupted since the Bronze Age, and the Romans believed that the volcano was dead. Although occasional earthquakes rocked the area, the most violent being in 62 or 63 A.D., the inhabitants did not connect the vibrations to the long silent mountain. On October 24th, 79 A.D.,* catastrophe struck, and Pompeii was lost to the fury of Vesuvius. The poignant stories of the people of Pompeii are heartbreaking, and sometimes difficult to read, but must be told. Eruption During the summer of 79 A.D., the fires built beneath the mountain. Small tremors increased to the point of becoming a normal part of life. The shifting of the earth cut off Pompeii’s water supply, and the volcano rumbled and growled. The citizens of Pompeii spent a sleepless night on the 23rd of October, as the shocks grew frequent and violent. When morning dawned, they rose to begin their day as usual.

  • Pompeii and the Roman Villa
    Pompeii and the Roman Villa ART AND CULTURE AROUND THE BAY OF NAPLES __________________________________________________________________________________________________ HE ANCIENT GREEK PHILOSOPHER EPICURUS STATED: “PLEASURE IS THE BEGINNING and end of living happily.” This statement rang true for prominent Romans who spent their leisure time in luxurious villas and houses in the towns of TPompeii, Herculaneum, and other ancient Roman towns that were centers of activity along the Bay of Naples in the first century BC and the first century AD. Epicurus’s philosophy appealed to many Romans who retreated to their country homes in the spring and summer months to enjoy a respite from their working lives in Rome. Pompeii, in the region of Campania, retained its Greek culture and character after becoming a Roman colony in 80 BC. The Romans considered Greece a source of culture, beauty, and wisdom, and knowledge of Greek culture was a status symbol that signaled refinement and education. Greek influence pervaded the decor of Roman residences around the Bay of Naples and was reflected in the works of art both acquired and emulated by Roman patrons. Some Romans, when on vacation, even wore Greek dress—such as a chiton for men or a peplos for women—rather than the standard toga of the day. These curriculum materials explore the cultural and artistic life in Pompeii and other towns around the Bay of Naples in the centuries leading up to the eruption of Vesuvius in the year 79. Two works of art, the mosaic Plato’s Academy (1st century BC–1st century AD) and the fresco Garden Scene (1st century BC–1st century AD), are examples of the embellishments applied to the gardens and interiors of Pompeian villas.
