This phase, in its most vigorous aspects, lasts only a matter of hours, and it marks the end of the eruption as well as the end of the cycle. The volcano then lapses into a period of repose, during which time the magma is again becoming gas-saturated and developing enough pressure to force an opening to the surface and initiate a new cycle. In summary then, the eruptive cycle of Vesuvius may be divided into three main stages: (1) repose period, (2) moderate activity, and (3) paroxysmal eruption. 2, record 1, English, - paroxysm
