How can a lahar be prevented?
Lahars cannot be prevented. They are a natural phenomenon.
What is wetter lahars or pyroclastic flows?
Lahars are wet. They are mudflows that result from volcanic ash mixing with water. Pyroclastic flows are superheated clouds of ash and gas that move down the slopes of a volcano. They are too hot to be wet.
What are some less hazards from volcanic eruption?
The only effective method of risk mitigation is evacuation prior to such eruption from areas likely to be affected by pyroclastic flows. 5 - Lahars ( volcanic mud and debris flows) are a common major volcanic hazard for people and property. Laharslikewise proceed very quicky and possess great destructive power.
Can volcanic eruption and seismic tremors produce large mudflows and debris flows?
Yes. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause debris flows. Volcanic eruptions can mudflows called lahars.
The eruption of nevado del ruiz with its devastating mud slides occurred in this south American nation in 1985 what is call?
Such mudflows are called lahars.
What are synonyms of mudflow?
well if you looking for HUGE mud flows, Lahars would be your word. A lahars, are huge mud flows containing boulders and uprooted trees. I'm guessing your going to use this word for a crossword puzzle?

Why are lahars so dangerous for human beings?
These mud flows can move rapidly down slope and can travel up to 70 or 80 kilometers away from the volcano.

How do mud flows differ from earth flows?
mud flows differ from earth flows due to the fact that earth flows is slow moving downslope movement of water-saturated,clay-rich,sediment, most characteristics of humid regions and mud flow is soil and rock fragments containing a large amount of water.
Can volcanic eruption and seismic tremors produce large mudflows and debris flows?
Yes. Earthquakes and volcanic eruptions can cause debris flows. Volcanic eruptions can mudflows called lahars.

Besides lava what are the other two dangerous things that come out of volcanoes?
Two other dangers from volcanoes, which are in fact more dangerous than lava flows, are pyroclastic flows and lahars. Pyroclastic flows are hot masses of ash, rock, and gas that move down a volcano's sides like avalanches, often exceeding 100 miles per hour. Unlike slow-moving lava flows, they leave almost no opportunity to escape. Lahars are mudflows that form when volcanic ash mixes with water. Lahars move through river valleys like flash floods, but with the density of concrete. A large lahar can bury a town in minutes.
Are mudflows caused by gravity?
Gravity could be described as a necessary, but not sufficient condition to create mud flows. Every location on Earth experiences gravity, but most locations do not also have mud flows. You need mud, and the mud has to be located in a certain kind of terrain, before gravity will then cause the mud to flow.
