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

One of my questions was have there ever been cities that have disappeared because of a volcanic eruption? The answer is YES! Pompeii has disappeared in 79 A.D. Mt.Vesuvius blew it's top and smoke and ash covered the city.  It was rediscovered in 1748.  The people were found, too!  They were in cement cases!  The ash covered their bodies!  It also covered Hurculium, another city near by. Pompeii is a Roman city located southeast of Naples.  Pompeii is still here today!  You can also visit it!  This is what I learned!
