WHAT IS A VOLCANIC
ERUPTION?
• It is a violent emission in the earth's surfacematerial from inside the

matter, largely organic, comes from deposits relatively close to the
surface hydrocarbons, terrestrial eruptionsare caused by volcanoes.
• (es una emisión violenta en la superficie terrestre de materiales procedentes del interior del volcán.
Exceptuando los géiseres, que emiten agua caliente, y los volcanes delodo, cuya materia, en gran
parte orgánica, proviene de yacimientos de hidrocarburos relativamente cercanos a la superficie, las
erupciones terrestres se deben a los volcanes.)

población pensó que se trataba de un escape más de humo, pues ya había pasado en años anteriores.)

By midmorning of a normalday of the year 79, the volcano Vesuvius erupted for 19 continuous
hours. During that time the volcano released about 4 cubic kilometers of ash and rock that buried
these two cities.
All this we knowfrom Pliny the Younger, who even said that the inhabitants of the region were
accustomed to small tremors, and not alarmed. Small earthquakes began to happen since the
night of August 20, 79, untilAugust 24, the catastrophic eruption devastated the region ... by
chance, that date was Vulcanalia the festival of the Roman god of fire (and volcanoes) .
