What kind of lava erupted at Mt.Vesuvius? What type of volcano is Mt.Vesuvius? How high is Mt.Vesuvius? Does its hieght shift each time it erupts?

Since your last statement made me laugh (a wonderful gift on a Monday morning) you get a special, superfast response. We have a page about Vesuvius (http://volcano.und.edu/vwdocs/volc_images/img_vesuvius.html) that even has a photo of tephrite, the most common rock at the volcano. Vesuvius is a complex volcano. Elevation: 4,200 feet (1,281 m). The height of the may will change if the new vent is at the summit. If a vent is located on the flank the height will not change. Please invite your teacher to visit VolcanoWorld.

Sincerely,
Steve Mattox
