pyroclastic flow
A hot, fast-moving and high-density mixture of ash, pumice, rock fragments, and gas formed during explosive eruptions
pyroclastic flow
A hot, fast moving and high-density (thick like a dust storm) mixture of ash, pumice, rock fragments and gas formed during explosive eruptions
pyroclastic flow
A rapid, hot, downward stream of rock fragments, air, gases, and ejecta from an erupting volcano They may be up to 800 degrees C and flow over 150 km/hr
