I'm watching a show about Mt. Vesuvius. How terrifying is it see those bodies preserved where they fell. You can see their teeth even. And the looks on their faces. Parents shielding their children. its so scary.
Artman said:Yes the pressure building up as Mother Earth slowly churnes, the hot, firey liquid rising and pressing harder and harder against the crust pushing against its own great weight until it can't stand it any longer and the mountain top's rocks fly off and it releases in a terrible fury of gushing molten lava. Then it smokes.
worked better with the original title, but I really didn't expect that to last even until I got my first response posted.Artman said:Yes the pressure building up as Mother Earth slowly churnes, the hot, firey liquid rising and pressing harder and harder against the crust pushing against its own great weight until it can't stand it any longer and the mountain top's rocks fly off and it releases in a terrible fury of gushing molten lava.

He just needs to stay on his Lithium.Bystander said:Trib, do yourself a favor and have the gas company "sniff" the lines inside your house for leaks; you should also check the traps on all the sinks, tubs, lavs, and other plumbing drains to be certain the sewer line isn't gassing you.
Bystander said:Actually, I'm serious --- course, that doesn't mean he was --- long term exposure to NG odorants at concentrations below the olfactory threshold can result in very low level poisoning, resulting in "weird" dreams
So can falling asleep with the TV on. He might do better to just turn off the TV before he goes to sleep.Bystander said:Actually, I'm serious --- course, that doesn't mean he was --- long term exposure to NG odorants at concentrations below the olfactory threshold can result in very low level poisoning, resulting in "weird" dreams
Please don't interrupt when we're talking about you.tribdog said:most of my odors are well above the olfactory limit
Mt. Vesuvius is a volcano located in southern Italy, near the city of Naples. It is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world due to its explosive history and proximity to densely populated areas.
The last eruption of Mt. Vesuvius occurred in 1944, but the most famous and devastating eruption was in 79 AD, which destroyed the nearby cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 AD caused widespread destruction and death in the surrounding areas. The cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum were buried under layers of ash and pumice, and thousands of people were killed. The eruption also caused tsunamis and earthquakes, further adding to the devastation.
Yes, Mt. Vesuvius is still an active volcano and is closely monitored by scientists for any signs of potential eruptions. While it has not had a major eruption since 1944, it is considered to be in a state of unrest and has had smaller eruptions and seismic activity in recent years.
Studying Mt. Vesuvius is important for understanding the behavior of volcanoes and the potential risks they pose to human populations. It also provides valuable insights into the cultural and historical significance of the 79 AD eruption, which has been preserved through the well-preserved ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum.
