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!

How many people have climbed Mount Everest? by Chris

I learned that many people climb Mount Everest.  Mount Everest is very hard to climb.  Over 100 people have died trying to climb it.  Mount Everest is 29,035 feet.  The wind can blow over 200 mph.  The first attempt was in 1921.  There has been 4,000 attempts and counting.  It is over 60 million years old.  People love reaching the summit  .It is 8,848 meters. There are 18 different climbing routes on Everest.  It takes about 40 days to climb it!  You have to let your body adjust so you would go in a tent and relax.  If you don't let your body adjust you could die.  A lot of people think it is cool to climb Mount Everest.  Some people don't.  Mount Everest is very dangerous to climb, but

for some people it is not impossible to climb.

How many people have climbed Mt. Everest? by Katherine

I learned that many people have climbed Mt. Everest. Some have been successful and others have not. Different websites say that a different amount of people have climbed Mt. Everest. I have learned that 660 people and/or 2,700 individuals have climbed Mt. Everest. I have found out that 2700, 4000, 1500, or 1924 people have climbed Mt. Everest. I also learned that 142, 179, or 200 people have unsuccessfully climbed Mt. Everest. I think many different websites think a different amount of people have climbed Mt. Everest is because they haven't heard of certain people who have climbed Mt. Everest.  Since these numbers are low (in my opinion) I learned that not many people have had the chance to climb Mt Everest. Only a few people have had the chance to see beautiful views.

What volcanic eruption has caused the most damage? by Christian

The Yellowstone valcano eruptes roughly every 600,000 years. (The last eruption being 640,000 years ago, so it's overdue!) The estimates are that the next one would be 2,500 times the size of Mt St Helens eruption in 1980! If Yellowstone blows like it did 2.1 million years ago, it could deposit 600 cubic miles  of stuff on America (compared to the 0.24 cubic miles St Helens put out.). That would bury most of America meters deep and kill around two-thirds of population.
        The Kileaua valcano in Hawii is the worlds most active volcano. The first well-documented eruption of Kileaua occurred in 1823.  Since that time the volcano has erupted repeatedly. Kileaua's eruption dates back to January 3, 1983, and is by far it's longest lived historical period of it activity, as well as one of the longest lived eruptions in the world; as of January 2011. The eruption has produced 3.5 cubic Kilometers (0.84 cu miles ) of lava and resurfaced 123.2 km2(48 sq mi

) of land.
