Mount Vesuvius erupts in 1944 in southern Italy

The transcript describes the intense heat and movement of white-hot lava, which flows down a volcano's sides at 2500 degrees, capable of incinerating everything in its path. The lava spreads as a vast sea of molten rock, wide and deep enough to cover large areas, such as New York's Central Park, with a thick layer.

What is the initial action of the lava as described in the video?

• It charges down the volcano's sides.

• It forms a solid crust.

• It cools down rapidly.

• It evaporates into the air.

What is the approximate temperature of the molten lava?

• 1500 degrees

• 2500 degrees

• 3500 degrees

• 4500 degrees

What is the effect of the lava's temperature on its surroundings?

• It freezes everything in its path.

• It creates a cooling breeze.

• It causes heavy rainfall.

• It cooks everything in its path.

How wide is the lava flow described in the video?

• 100 yards

• 200 yards

• 300 yards

• 400 yards

What is the potential coverage of the lava in terms of New York Central Park?

• A layer 25 feet thick

• A layer 20 feet thick

• A layer 15 feet thick

• A layer 10 feet thick
