When the volcano finally erupted, it devastated the entire city, encasing Pompeii in ash for nearly 1500 years. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. On 24 August 79 AD, the inactive Mount Vesuvius erupted, sending molten rock 15km into the sky. Four billion tonnes of pumice rock, ash and rain rained down on Pompeii, blocking sunlight. A pyroclastic surge destroyed the city and its people, encasing them in volcanic ash. Pompeii was rediscovered in 1594 - accidentally. A Twig Context Film. Reinforce and extend the learning required by the curriculum. Twig’s context films show abstract concepts in action in the real world.\n
