The eruption of Mt Vesuvius in Pompeii officially started on the morning of August 24, as molten rock and pumice began to be expelled from Mt. Vesuvius at a rate of 1.5 million tons per second. Copious amounts of rock and volcanic ash filled the atmosphere, turning day into night. It is estimated that about six inches of ash fell every hour. Around midnight the pyroclastic surges and flows started, and on the morning of the 25th, a toxic cloud of gas descended on Pompeii.

A tsunami is not just one big wave, but a series of waves called a “wave train. The time period between waves is called the “wave period” and can be between a few minutes and two hours.
