Does mt st helens have pyroclastic flow?
No. It has a crater, which is not quite the same as a caldera.
What happened to make mount st Helens have a pyroclastic flow?
When Mt. st Helen's erupted it had a pyroclastic flow because all of its magma was high in silica so it cloged the pipe when the magma was trying to leave so when it finally exploded it came down as a pyroclastic flow
Did Mt St Helens have a lava flow?
Yes.
Does Krakatoa produce lava or pyroclastic flow?
Yes, of course Krakatoa has a pyroclastic flow. Every volcano has an pyroclastic flow, which can travel up to at huge speeds. Krakatoa's pyroclastic flow raced an amazing 200 mph over 20 miles of open sea. Yes Krakatoa has pyroclastic flows but not all volcanoes produce pyroclastic flows, only Mt. St. Helens type volcanoes usually composed of andesite. Kilauea for example does not produce pyroclastic flows because it is composed of basalt, the lava flows out easily.
Did any other volcanoes erupt like Mt Vesuvius?
Well, It is a bit hard to say, as no one is alive to remember it... But... ST Helens in the USA did a good job of copying it, lots of ash, followed by a lot of pyroclastic flow.

Did Mt St Helens have a lava flow?
Yes.
What type of flow does mt st helens have?
Mount St. Helens has produced lava flows in the past. However, the famous eruption in 1980 produced something much more dangerous: pyroclastic flows. These are avalanche-like currents of hot ash, rock, and gas that race out of a volcano. The initial pyroclastic flow from the lateral blast may have briefly been supersonic.
Where was the explosion of mt st Helens?
At Mt. St. Helens.
What type of lava flow did mt st helens have?
The 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens did not produce lava flows. It was a plinian eruption that produced aolumn of ash and pyroclastic flows. Pyroclastic flows are avalanche-like masses of hot ash, rock, and gas that rase away from an erupting volcano at speeds that can reachinto the hundreds of miles per hour.
