Creative Writing: The Whole City Of Pompeii Beach

On August 24th in 79 AD at approximately 1300 a cloud appeared over the Roman city of Pompeii. This was all the warning the residents had before the nearby volcano, Mount Vesuvius, erupted. Huge quantities of scalding hot ash, pumice and lava pebbles were thrown into the sky. This then cascaded down across an extensive area. Pompeii was buried under 14 to 17 feet of ash and pumice, and the nearby seacoast was drastically changed. Herculaneum was buried under more than 60 feet of mud and volcanic material. Some residents of Pompeii later returned to dig out their destroyed homes and salvage their valuables, but many treasures were left and then forgotten. The remains of 2,000 men, women, and children were found at Pompeii. After perishing

One day I was walking through the ruins of Pompeii. While I was walking I saw something shiny

In fact, the entire city seems to have vanished. Pompeii is buried under 12 feet of rock. Within a few decades, Pompeii is all but forgotten, wiped off the face of the Earth.

“After defeating the Cyclops Polyphemus, my men grew exhausted. They grew thirsty from rowing under the beating hot sun. Sweat dripped down their heads and the ship’s deck grew moist from the mix of the salty, seawater and sweat. We stopped by on a nearby island.

Personally, I feel like the line that separates media from art is a very tricky and obscure one. It’s relatively easy to differentiate between media and multimedia, however when the term art is brought in, classification becomes difficult. Everyone has varied ideas of what art is and what should be considered art but I believe that art causes the viewer to conjure up some form of human idea, emotion or thought.

In the geological world, Mount Vesuvius’ eruption, and consequently the destruction of Pompeii, is one of the most discussed and debated of history. Pompeii was a large Roman town, which was located on the island of Campania. Pompeii is no longer the same as it used to be. Pompeii was a normal town until 79 CE. On this day Mt. Vesuvius erupted and covered the town in ash. Some people believed the universe was being resolved into fire. The ash filled in the air, seas, and land. Ash fell into ships, the closer the ship’s went, the darker and denser.

Over 2,000 years ago, Mount Vesuvius chose the city of Pompeii to be its next victim. August 79 A.D was the fateful day that would destroy thousands of lives, and their beloved homes. When Mount Vesuvius erupted it sent ashes, rocks, and volcanic gases to rain over Pompeii and cause complete chaos. After Mount Vesuvius’ first attack on Pompeii, a tower of debris drifted to earth. Buildings collapsed and ash clogged the air. Then a surge of poison gas and rock poured down the side of the mountain, destroying everything that laid in its path. Pompeii was done for.

Mt. Vesuvius, a dormant stratovolcano, had not erupted for over 71, 500 years. The city of Pompeii was isolated from all that was outside of its borders. The only other natural disaster recorded in the area was on February 5, 62 AD, when a major earthquake occurred in the epicenter of Pompeii (Modigliani). This severely damaged the town, causing buildings, temples, and houses to collapse. The society was ignorant to natural disasters, so many were unsure how to react. Because of this, a significant portion of the population evacuated the city after the severe quakes. The towering

In the year 79 A.D. the volcano, Mount Vesuvius, had its’s most famous eruption when it buried the ancient Roman city of Pompeii along with the small neighbouring towns of Stabiae and Herculaneum. The eruption killed two thousand people and left the city buried under millions of tons of volcanic ash. Pompeii was rediscovered again in 1748, by a group of explorers after it laid under a layer of volcanic ash since the explosion. Underneath a thick layer of dust and debris the city was mostly intact. The skeletons, buildings, and artifacts have allowed archeologists to discover a great deal about the ancient world.

Located in southern Italy, the city of Pompeii suffered from one of the most devastating disasters of all time. On August 24, 79 AD, a volcano, known as Mt. Vesuvius, erupted and struck the entire city of Pompeii. As a result, many citizens of Pompeii suffocated to death from the ash and the entire city was left dry and still. The volcanic eruption of Mt. Vesuvius and the aftermath it left on the city of Pompeii left a positive influence on my academic upbringing.

When Mt. Vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. many people were killed from the volcanic eruption. Archeologists believe that 12,000 people lived in Pompeii and 2,000 remains have been found. Scientists and archaeologists along with the European governments want to find out more of how they lived and died. “Pompeii may soon attract even more visitors. An ambitious $125 million effort sponsored by the European Union and the Italian government is unlocking more secrets of the city” (Brown pg. 19). The governments wanted to find all of the hidden secrets.

This tragic accident happened on Aug 24, 79A.D. Poor Pompeii was the victim of this lava spitting monster. About 2,000 people died that day, but to this day many people live there, even knowing that one day the volcano will explode.

Would you want to be in the city of pompeii or mt. st. helens, when the volcanos erupted? Mt. St. Helens erupted in 1980, and vesuvius erupted in 79 A.D. They were both the same kind of volcano, stratovolcano. The Volcano’s both spewed ash, and pumice. The cities could feel the tremors the “Mountains” were causing. The Volcano’ s caused huge eruptions, that buried homes, and the whole city.

One of the volcanoes that are looked to for answers on modern day volcanic eruptions is Mount Vesuvius which is located in Pompeii. This particular volcano erupted in 79 AD. Scientists and archaeologists believe that approximately 13 to 20 feet of ash and lava were sent into the atmosphere and buried the cities of Pompeii, Herculancum and many other cities in the vicinity. Over 1500 years would pass before the stories of this volcano and the people that lived there would start surfacing.

The people of Pompeii were suddenly rocked by a Plinan Eruption from Mt. Vesuvius. The volcano spewed plumes of ash up to 45 kilo metres into the stratosphere. This caused many problems for the unsuspecting people in Pompeii. The plumes of ash were not the source of destruction for the people of Pompeii but also lahars (mud flows) and pyroclastic flows. With the pyroclastic flow made up of hot ash, pumice, rock fragments and deadly gases, moving across the ground it was impossible for anyone to survive even if they hadn’t already died from the pumice shooting out of the volcano’s mouth. “Some of the cloud was white, in other parts there were dark patches of dirt and
