During an explosive eruption, a volcano sends out superheated ash, gas, and rock. Depending on the nature of the eruption, pyroclastic flows can develop in three ways:
A lateral blast directly ejects the flow, though this is a rather rare event. In another scenario, dense pyroclastic material erupts and spills out of the vent or over the crater rim. In still other cases a vertical eruption column collapses and material flows downhill.
In all cases the flow involves a mass of ash, rock, and gas that is too dense to rise on its own, and instead hugs the ground.
Most pyroclastic flows are produced during explosive eruptions of stratovolcanoes.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of eruption has an pyroclastic flow?
An explosive volcanic eruption. Pyroclastic flow is a mixture of fast flowing hot gases that travel down and away from the eruption.
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 typically occurs during an quite eruption?
No. A "quiet" eruption will produce lava flows. Pyroclastic flows generally result from explosive eruptions.
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occur during a quiet or loud eruption?
Pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a violent eruption.
Pyroclastic flow would most likely in a what eruption?
smoke weed

What is the name of the flow of gas from a very explosive volcano?
The name of the explosive outflow of gas from a volcaic eruption is a Pyroclastic Flow, however it can also be called a Pyroclastic Surge.
Is it true that pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a quiet eruption?
No. Pyroclastic flows are characteristic of explosive eruptions.
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occurs during an quite eruption?
No. A "quiet" eruption will produce lava flows. Pyroclastic flows generally result from explosive eruptions.
What happens when a explosive eruption hurls ash cinders bombs and gases out of a volcano?
A pyroclastic flow.
What volcano produces a pyroclastic flow?
an explosive volcano will usually have a pyroclastic flow
What do you call the fast-travelling stream of hot gas and fragmental material that is produced during an explosive volcanic eruption?
Pyroclastic flow
Does a pyroclastic flow typically occur during a quiet or loud eruption?
Pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a violent eruption.
How does explosive eruption produce pyroclastic flow?
During an explosive eruption, a volcano sends out superheated ash, gas, and rock. Depending on the nature of the eruption, pyroclastic flows can develop in three ways:A lateral blast directly ejects the flow, though this is a rather rare event.

Does a pyroclastic flow typically occur during a quiet eruption?
No, pyroclastic flows typically occur during explosive volcanic eruptions when hot gas and volcanic particles travel rapidly down the side of the volcano. Quiet eruptions, such as lava flows, do not produce pyroclastic flows.
