Does a pyroclastic flow typically occur during a quiet or loud eruption?

Pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a violent eruption.


Where does pyroclastic flow occur?

Pyroclastic flows occur during explosive eruptions of volcanoes.


Can non explosive volcanoes have pyroclastic flows?

The answer is Explosive . It is explosive because during a explosive eruption there are clouds of ash, gas , and rock , and with a pyroclastic flow there is dust and ash . there for the answer must be explosive .


Does a pyroclastic flow occur during during small earthquakes?

No. Pyroclastic flows are a result of volcanic eruptions.


What are major hazards associated with volcanic eruptions?

Most deaths during eruptions occur during pyroclastic flows/surges during an eruption and volcanic mudslides (known as lahars) after the eruption.


When do Lanslides commonly occur during the year?

How is the information in the During section of the Volcanoes page organized?

The information in the "During" section of the Volcanoes page is organized chronologically, typically describing the events, activities, and phenomena that occur while a volcano is erupting or showing signs of potential eruption. It may include details about seismic activity, gas emissions, magma movement, and the eruption itself.


Is Pyroclastic rock basic or acid?

Pyroclastic material is more often felsic (acidic) or intermediate, but mafic (basic) pyroclastic material may also occur.

How are pyroclastic flows created?

Pyroclastic flows occur during explosive volcanic eruptions. Such eruptions generally occur with viscous magma that has a high gas content. As the magma approaches the surface and pressure is reduced, the gas is released and expands violently, forming clouds of hot ash, gas, and rock fragments. These flows most often occur when the ejected cloud is too dense to rise under its own buoyancy, but instead flows down the volcano's slopes. In other cases a pyroclastic flow can form from a lateral blast; meaning an eruption directed sideways rather than up. Some flows may result from the collapse of a lava dome.


How are pyroclastic flows formed?

There are a number of ways in which pyroclastic flows occur and the first follows a Plinian eruption. If a fountain collapse of its eruption column occurs the jet is not able to heat the air sufficiently and lack of convection causes the plume to fall rather than shoot upward and flow down the mountain. The second is the same type of collapse after a vulcanian eruption in which a gas cloud is created that is denser than the air around it and this turns into a pyroclastic low. Other ways include a lava dome suffering a gravitational collapse, the mouth of a vent in a volcano frothing when the erupted lava degasses and when a section of a volcano collapses and a directional burst occurs.
