One of them would HAVE to be that it completely buried Pompeii under ash until it was excavated in the 18th century. Hurculanium and Stabiae were also at least partially buried. The eruption also caused pompeii's coast... I cant remember which body of water it was, but the water receded fairly extensively, killing alot of aquatic life and changing the shape of the coast.
