The Pompeii volcano is not a shield volcano or a cinder cone; it is classified as a stratovolcano. Stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes, are characterized by steep sides and explosive eruptions due to the combination of lava flows and ash. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in Pompeii in 79 AD buried the Roman city under layers of ash and pumice.
