Well, Mike was ALMOST right again, thanks to his evergrowing passion into choholate sundaes. But reality beats the sundae... unfortunately, but congats, Jerrod! Have you born there in Volcano? Because you know so much and my secretary is just filling the small holes... krhm... to make everything believable. RobbieRobot is trying the same answer day by day, I think he's very successful when we'll change our stay to Mars for example. Thank you all again, soon we'll see what is the Quiz for this Friday!

Thanks Jerrod, what i can add to your description is that The fertile volcanic soils attract a high human density despite the danger of eruptions like that of 79. According to scientists Naples is built on a magma chamber about 400 km2, an explosion would be catastrophic. The city and its suburbs have a population of 4 million inhabitants, making it the second behind Italy Milan, including 600,000 people living in the red zone directly at the foot of the volcano...

Vesuvius is one of the world’s most famous volcanoes, best known for the catastrophic eruption which buried the towns of Pompeii and Herculaneum in 79 AD. But that’s just one of many eruptions that have taken place over thousands of years. Over its history Vesuvius has usually erupted every 18 months to seven and a half years – so with the last major eruption being in 1944 this is the longest it’s gone without erupting for 500 years. The 1944 eruption killed 26 people and meant that 12,000 people had to leave their homes. At 1300 metres tall, Vesuvius might not be the biggest volcano in Europe, but it’s classed as one of the most dangerous, partly because of its explosive eruptions and partly because of the huge number of people who live close to it – almost 600,000 of them in the most dangerous ‘red zone’.
