    Vesuvius has got to be the most iconic volcano on the planet. Basically spurred on the modern field of volcanology, created one of the best archeological sites in Europe, and has some pretty spectacular (albeit dangerous) eruptions, not to mention how active it is. Definitely deserves at least some of the hype.

      Very true. It also changed the morphology inside the crater of Vesuvius quite significantly, as there was once a small cone inside it, which may be visible on the videos of the eruption. The cone seems to have been destroyed by the 1944 eruption.

    Thanks as always, Geology Hub. This remake is great, more meticulous than before.
    The 79 CE eruption's last pyroclastic flow was apparently quite huge, covering huge swaths of not only Pompeii, Herculaneum, Oplontis, Stabiae, and where Naples would be, but also large areas of the Naples Bay area and almost reaching Misenum! (Correct me if I am wrong.)
    The 1794 eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the lava fountains it produced was remarkable...
    I find the early 1900's-1944 eruptive activity of Mount Vesuvius interesting, as after the 1906 eruption, Mount Vesuvius apparently grew shorter in height. If I remember correctly, the height of the volcano before the 1906 eruption was around 1,300 meters, and the height of the volcano after the eruption was lower than the volcano's current height. Similar height decreases may have occurred after the 1944 eruption, and obviously occurred after the relatively large 1631 eruption.
    Finally, there is a fascinating series of graphics somewhere on the internet that shows Vesuvius' morphological evolution from around 1631 to the present. I wish I could find it easily, though. I hope everyone can find it!

    • @b.a.erlebacher1139
      @b.a.erlebacher1139 6 місяців тому +6

      While Campi Flegri is indeed a serious threat, some geologists believe that a lot of its activity is hydrothermal rather than magmatic. There's a deep layer of limestone underlying it, and the heat of the magma drives CO2 out of it by the same process as a cement kiln. This process contributes to the cycles of inflation, which is sometimes alarmingly high.

    Do we know why Vesuvius and its sibling Campi Flegrei have such alkaline magmas? Phonolitic and trachytic magmas don't seem to be all that common globally but they constitute the majority of these two volcanoes lava compositions.
    To my knowledge there is also an interesting correlation between the two volcanoes active and quiescent periods with Vesuvius being generally active when Campi Flegrei is quiet and vice versa. While there is thought to be a deep shared magmatic source for the two volcanoes magma chambers and associated plumbing consisting of primarily shoshonite source melts the inverse correlation of eruptive activity between the two reminds me more of other close proximity volcanic systems like Kilauea and Mona Loa which are not believed to share a same source based on their magma chemistries.

    • @Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective
      @Akechi_The_Phantom_Detective 6 місяців тому +1

      Would that not be a result of the hydrothermal complex situated beneath both volcanoes? I believe it's well understood that Campi Flegrei itself has a huge plumbing system in it's upper chamber consisting mostly of water and a huge concentration dissolved C02. While I can't make the same assertion for Vesuvius given that it has undergone many different types of eruptions over the course of the past 3000 years it wouldn't surprise me if it underwent similar cycles to Campi Flegrei given it's proximity to the Bay of Naples.
      That said, it's all guesswork on my part. I know Campi Flegrei is understood to be the source of Roman Concrete as the volcano basically offered it's on insta-mix solution for cement but it's hard for me to say anything definitively.

    Hi from Italy, before all: i'm not a volcanologist, but just a fan of this science and interested in history! I know that some evidences show to us that the actual vesuvius aka "great cone" was beginning to form with the 79's eruption, well surely the process was ongoing from years, but One roman chronist from the I°st ce b.c. give to us some indications: he talk about a flat top hill with a Little lake and burned rocks and sulphur smell, another important source Is a pompeii ' fresco, in this fresco with the god bacchus and some grapes we can see this hill with flat top, and a higher point on the left side, similar to the mount somma's profile, covered by forests and wineyards, its the most ancient picture of "vesuvius" mount.

    Billy Meier said in 1981 and 1987 that "5 of italy's Volcanoes will erupt in future times and this will cause severe hardship all through Italy and will claim over 20 million Human lives," Billy Meier also said " When Campi Flegrei erupts that a huge chunk of land will break off from the Island and it will plummet into the Ocean which will cause a Tsunami of 100 to 150 meters high and this will wash out the entire Island destroying everything on it, whkle tbis is happening it will also race across the Ocean to the shores of America, Africa and the EU causing devastation and annhilation, at thos Time Mount Vesuvius could also become active and if this erupts it will crack yhe Earths crust open from Naples to Rome claimimg over 30 million lives, the 5 volcanoes that will erupt in Italy are as follows, Mount Etna, Mount Stromboli, Campi Flegrei, Underwater Mount Marsili and Mount Vesuvius along with 100s of smaller under water volcanoes, these 5 main volcanoes all erupt essentially at the same time because according to Billy Meier "They are all connected to the same Magma Chamber about 200 to 250 meters under ground."

    I feel like there is a general trend with all volcanoes becomming less active over time. 🤔Does this trend really exist or am I misguided? Like earth probably cools over time and thus becomes less geolocigally active. If yes: how fast is this and should it be factored into statements like: "This volcano erupts on average once every 45 years."?

The Miniatur Wunderland has 15 minutes of daytime and 5 minutes of night (with a bit of dusk and dawn added), so this dictates the schedule for the eruptions. There are many videos of this extraordinary place on YT, including some of Mount Vesuvius, the Drake passage, the miniature airport, and the newest attraction, the Monaco Grand Prix (took more than a decade to make!) - all in the basic H0 scale of 1:87 this largest model railway display in the world uses.

    About Mount Vesuvius I read somewhere that its eruption in 1944 was not entirely of geological and volcanic origin.
    on a geological scale, 1944 AD is really nothing at all!
    on the other hand according to recent human history:
    1944 in Italy; it is complicated, mainly due to the Second World War which is taking place on its territory
    it seems that during a bomber raid, a "load" was found strangely dropped in the crater of Vesuvius ?????
    if the planned drop zone may not have seen the difference (only 1 less)
    Vesuvius would have very little appreciated "the gift": it would have started an eruption

      the author related the temporal concordance between the "drop zone error" and the start of the eruption.
      but was it the error alone which triggered the eruption of 1944, or the release bringing forward the start of the eruption by a few tens of minutes; of days or months (and it would then be called the eruption of 1945 or 1946) the historian author honestly asked the question calling on geologists for help on the question
