The eruption of Etna, one of the most active volcanoes on earth, and scattering meters of ash around the world in the past days, does not prevent the other volcanic mountains in the world from being a cause for concern. In this direction, another volcano that scientists draw attention to is Vesuvius.
This super active volcano, which has existed for thousands of years in the east of Naples, Italy, is 1281 meters high. The only volcanic mountain on the European mainland to have been active in the last century known as.
After nearly 500 years of inactivity showing signs of reawakening Let’s take a look at the veils of mystery behind Mount Vesuvius.
First of all, let’s talk about what distinguishes super volcanoes from classical volcanoes.
Supervolcanoes are the largest known volcanoes and due to the size of their magma treasures, they replace a volcanic cone after eruptions. It forms huge calderas (dents).
These volcanic mountains are located under the regions where they are located. with huge magma treasures reveals itself. These magmas are also enriched with gas and reach the critical point and their upper layers are pierced at several places far from each other.

Typically, this perforation consists of ring-shaped cracks on the magma treasure due to uplift, and the hard ground thus formed is buried in the emptied magma treasure, forming dents.
Meanwhile, hundreds or even thousands of cubic meters of lava, It ejects from the magma treasure to a height of 50 km and scatters up to a distance of 100 km. Thus, volcanic dust affects the whole world.
Also, these supervolcanoes are very extensive volcanic activities and can explode on itself when the amount of magma discharged from the center of a volcano is excessive. Large amounts of Crater, a landscape brimming with sulfuric acid, hydrothermal activity, and geysers leaves.
Vesuvius in Naples is one of these supervolcanoes and has caused numerous eruptions in the past, as well as the destruction of the city of Pompeii.
Allegedly, this huge explosion, which started a day after the Vulcan festival, lasted for about 24 hours and surrounded its surroundings. extreme spewed large quantities of lava, volcanic gas, and volcanic ash. The people living in Pompeii were unaware at that time that Vesuvius was a volcano that had not erupted for 1800 years, and the small earthquakes that heralded the eruptions were not taken into account.
Winds blowing from the northwest with the eruption of Vesuvius, he blew all his ashes to Pompeii and that area was so damaged that your map was erased, so to speak..
Let’s also add that this volcano is known to erupt 200 times in total. This volcanic mountain, which last erupted in 1906, 1929 and 1944, has not been the scene of any disasters since then.

But Vesuvius has been showing signs of re-awakening lately.
The city of Naples, just like Pompeii, is unfortunately located on the bed of this giant volcano, and scientists believe that Vesuvius, an extinct super volcano, It is the first time in 500 years that it is approaching a critical pressure point where it may experience a major explosion. it states.
Researchers have discovered that this volcano a dangerous situation While he says he’s starting to take in, he worries that the rising magma could also trigger the release of liquids and gases at a force 10 times the normal level.
If it is feared, an explosion will occur that is very dangerous for the approximately 3 million people living in the region.
In 2012, Italian authorities determined that this volcano could form. change the danger level from green to yellow and the area was actively controlled.
In addition, there are a total of 20 super volcanoes on Earth, and each one takes an average of 100 thousand years. It is the scene of a giant explosion. The result of these explosions is undoubtedly very serious for all living things in the surrounding countries.
It is also possible that the ashes scattered around as a result of these explosions block the sunlight and cause a long winter. NASA researchers think that the most logical way to solve this problem. cooling super volcanoes means it is.
