Is the volcanic eruption in Pompeii (2014) realistic?

Best Answers

Lava bombs undoubtedly killed a number of people in Pompeii and Herculaneum during the eruption. As far as lava goes, typically, in a volcanic eruption that has pyroclastic flows, the lava is usually too viscous or thick to flow like what we imagine when we see a volcano erupting. read more

Eruptions like the one that buried Pompeii have occurred throughout history, such as the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa or the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Mount Vesuvius erupted again in 1631, killing at least 3,000 people, and today, more than a million people live in the vicinity of the volcano. read more

Yes, though the eruptions of Vesuvius are not generally as large as the 79 A.D. one. Vesuvius tends to erupt in cycles, and the first eruption in the cycle is the largest. 79 A.D. was the opening of a new cycle, so was the large eruption of 1631. read more
