Have there ever been cities that have disappeared because of a volcanic eruption? by Alex

I learned about Pompeii it was a town that got covered in ash from a volcano. A scientist was digging and found Pompeii.  He started to dig it up.  Now the town is really famous.  It is one of the most popular tourist site in Italy.  It gets about 2.6 million visitors a year.  The houses look like they just did back in the Roman days.   They are limiting how many towns you can go to because they want to preserve Pompeii.  Pompeii  got covered in 20 feet of ash. That's what I learned about Pompeii.
