Mt. Vesuvius is the only active volcano in continental Europe. It is 4,190 feet tall and is a composite volcano. A composite volcano is composed of a mix of layers of lava flows, volcanic ash and cinders.
Mt. Vesuvius contains felsic magma, rich in silica and metals. :) go on wikipedia for more info
As is typical of stratovolcanoes, Mount Vesuvius is not solely made from lava, but from layers of cooled lava flows and ash and pumice deposits. Tephrite is abundant on Vesuvius.

mt. Vesuvius has felsic lava

If it is a big volcanic eruption then it would burn nearby cities and kill people, then it will poison the air with sulfuric acid and darken the sky. Ash will fall from the clouds of the eruption and ruin or collapse buildings because the ash id heavy.
One factor that influences a volcanic eruption is the composition of the lava; the thicker the lava, the more explosive the eruption. Another factor is the level of pressure that forces magma up a pipe or vent; the higher the pressure, the more violent the eruption.
Good question! According to Dana's Manual of Mineral Science (the Bible of minerals, in a way) a mineral must be solid. So, lava, which is not solid, is not a mineral. Once lava hardens into a solid, it becomes a rock made of different types of minerals.
why does the lava sink or rise?
it depends on which lava lamp u get
the type of lava from mt vesuvius is felsic lava in a pyroclstic explosion.
What temperature is mt Vesuvius
Mt. Vesuvius produces felsic lava in a pyroclastic explosion.

Mt. Vesuvius produces geothermal energy. It uses the heat of the magma and the lava, along with ash and gases.
Mt. Vesuvius produces geothermal energy by the heat of the magma and lava, ash and gases. I hope this helps:)
An underground earthquake sent the lava plume high in the air.
Mt Vesuvius is a mountain in Italy that exploded and covered pompeii for several hundred years
No, but pumice came out of Mt Vesuvius, because the magma coming out was cooling very fast.
In March 1944, Mt. Vesuvius erupted. ^lol whoever wrote this likes to keep it simple =D
Mount Vesuvius' magma is comprised mostly of pumice stone. It is low density molten rock that erupts at a high temperature.
Mt. Vesuvius is a Volcano that is in Italy.
