Pompeii: The Lost City - Social Studies

A few weeks back in Social Studies, we have been focusing on one of the topics called Pompeii, The Lost City. We did some research on what happened, Where is happened, What caused it, How many people died and etc. We also had to create a Article about it and add all of our information we found off the internet.

Here is my Article:

WHAT HAPPENED…
Mount Vesuvius, a volcano near the Bay of Naples in Italy, has erupted more
than 50 times. It's the most famous eruption took place on August 24 79 CE,
when the volcano buried the ancient roman city of pompeii under a thick carpet
of volcanic ash.
Two Thousand people died and the city was abandoned for almost as many years. 
Pompeii was impacted by causing earthquakes and tsunami from the volcano,
which also helped destroy the environment in Pompeii.
The damage caused by the volcano also had long term effects on
neighboring cities such as Herculaneum, Stabiae and Torre Annunziata. 
People eventually left Pompeii in different directions.
