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!

Several Roman settlements were obliterated and buried underneath massive pyroclastic surges and ashfall deposits, the best known being Pompeii and Herculaneum. After archeological excavations revealed much about the lives of the inhabitants, the area became a major tourist attraction, and is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and part of Vesuvius National Park.
The total population of both cities was 16,000–20,000. The remains of over 1,500 people have been found at Pompeii and Herculaneum, but the death toll is still unclear. The event is the

Eruptive history Lava stratigraphy.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) has divided the exposed lava flows and tephra erupted by Hualālai volcano during the last 112,000 years into 419 rock units of eight chronostratigraphic age groups. These are summarized in the table below:
Eruptive history 1800–1801 eruption.
Hualālai last erupted in 1800–1801. This eruption produced very fluid alkalic basalt lava flows that entered the ocean off the western tip of Hawaii island. Although five vents were
