A volcano, which is a mountain, cannot be possibly be buried in a city. It is the other way round. A city can be buried by the volcanic ashes of the lava of a volcanic eruption; that is, an explosion o fa volcano mountain. Pompeii was buried by the volcanic ashes of a volcanic eruption of the nearby Mount Vesuvius
