Both, but most of the mass expulsed by the explosion was in the form of ash

Mt. Vesuvius covered Pompeii with about 60 ft of ash and pumice.

There is only one volcano near Pompeii, and in AD 79 it erupted with such force that the ash and lava entirely covered Pompeii. Many of the inhabitants were killed and their body shapes prerserved by the ash and lava.
It was buried in 4 to 6 metres of ash
Pompeii was covered in 9 feet of volcanc ash when Vesuvius erupted.
Yes, it erupted! The best account we have of the eruption is by Pliny the Younger. He lost his uncle Pliny the Elder during the eruption. Pompeii was swallowd by tons of ash and lava which then set in the town. Today, as it is being unearthed there are much things preserved such as murals and houses. The depictions are quite forthcoming in that they would be considered absolutely inappropriate to have painted in your town today but in a word, your answer is "yes"
No. First, Pompeii was buried by volcanic ash, not lava. Either way, the eruption that buried Pompeii was nearly 2,000 years ago. The ash cooled long ago.

This question makes no sense.
Zero. Pomeii was buried under ash and pumice from an eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but not affected by hot lava. for more info check out the Related Links below (Really-visit the interactive site!) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeii http://www.harcourtschool.com/activity/pompeii/
Lava did not enter the streets of Pompeii. When Vesuvius erupted in 79 it did so explosivley, blasting material into the air where it became ash and pumice. Pompeii was buried to a depth of 20 feet.
Mount Vesuvius is at next to Pompeii, Italy. It erupted and covered all of Pompeii in lava. The lava cooled other the peope, freezing thyem like statues. If you peel away the now cooled lava, you will see people's bones. You can see two pompeii people covered by cooled lava.
