Both lava and pyroclastic material are classified as rocks. Lava is molten rock and pyroclastic material is various debris. There is Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, Dacite lava, and Rhyolitic lava.

Pyroclastic flow.
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
Pyroclastic flow
Pyroclastic Material is classified by size from very fine dust and volcanic ash.
Mount Etna has had both explosive and "quiet" eruptions and has produced lava flows, lava fountains, and pyroclastic flows.
Lava because pyroclastic material explodes from a volcano, Lava just runs down the surface of the volcano nonexplosive or explosive.
No. Block lava is low-moving viscous lava, usually of andesitic or similar composition. A pyroclastic flow is a very fast-moving mixture of hot ash, rock and gas.
Mt. Vesuvius produces felsic lava in a pyroclastic explosion.
No, pahoehoe lava is not considered pyroclastic debris. Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava that has a smooth, rope-like texture due to its low viscosity. Pyroclastic debris refers to fragmented material such as ash, volcanic rocks, and gases that are blasted out of a volcano during an explosive eruption.
Pyroclastic material is more likely to form from high-viscosity lava. This is because high-viscosity lava traps gases more effectively, leading to explosive eruptions that fragment the lava into ash, pumice, and other pyroclastic materials. In contrast, low-viscosity lava tends to flow more easily and is less explosive, resulting in less pyroclastic activity.
Lava is not considered to be a pyroclastic material. Pyroclastic materials include volcanic ash, pumice, and volcanic rock fragments that are explosively ejected during an eruption. Unlike these materials, lava refers to molten rock that flows from a volcanic vent.
