Off the top of your head, are you able to give the name of any volcano in the world? Honestly, I don't think I'd be able to.
Mt Vesuvius is a popular Volcano that erupted with hot lava!
Oh, I actually know that one, didn't it erupt very recently?
The last eruption was in 1944, but it is best know for its eruption in 79 AD when it destroyed Pompeii.
1944, huh? Now is Mt. Vesuvius the one that was so loud when it erupted, it shattered the ear drums of people with a 30 mile radius, or is that a different volcano?
That is Krakatoa! That volcano was heard around the world. Vesuvius is known for its pyroclastic flow that spewed hot as at 1.5 million tons per second.
Ah, Krakatoa, that's the one. As for Vesuvius, I'm not too sure on the relativity of pyroclastic flow but 1.5 million tons per second sounds like a lot!
The Pyroclatic flow from Vesuvius was equivalent to 100,000 times the thermal energy of the Hiroshima-Nagasaki bombings if that tells you anything! No way to survive that.
Wow, that's insane! 100,000 times the bomb that fell on Hiroshima, crazy. But, what exactly is pyroclatic flow?
