including Nicolosi and Catania. Leonardo Mercatanti, in his article “Etna and the Perception of Volcanic Risk,” reviews a survey conducted in late 2011 and early 2012 in order to come to a conclusion on the local’s relationship with the volcano. Mount Etna is one of the world’s largest volcanoes, towering at 3340 meters above sea level and spanning an area of about 210 kilometers.

ideas of projectile motion, angular projectile motion, Geometrical estimations. For this example, I will be using the volcano Mount Vesuvius. This volcano is known best for the destruction of Pompeii and villages that surrounded it. This eruption works the best due to the easily known eruption and the easily measurable distances from Pompeii to the center of Mount Vesuvius.
