Mount Vesuvius

Today we learned what it would be like to be a Geologist and had a great discussion about Geology, more specifically these key terms: Earth's Layers, Plate Tectonics, Mountains, Volcanoes, Earthquakes, and Tsunamis. We found out that we already had a great deal of background knowledge concerning these topics. Monday we're going to be reading a story and looking at some primary documents that came from the tragedy in Pompeii, the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79A.D. Here are some websites and a video clip you can preview to add to your prior knowledge before then. Enjoy!
