The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD was primarily caused by a combination of factors, including tectonic plate movement, groundwater pressure, and climatic conditions.
The eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii under a layer of volcanic ash and pumice on August 24, 79 AD.
Pompeii remains remarkably well-preserved due to the natural preservation effects of the volcanic ash and pumice, making it one of the best-preserved archaeological sites in the world.
Visitors cannot climb Mount Vesuvius because it is an active volcano and poses significant safety risks.
