What are the similarities in a lava flow and a pyroclastic flow?
A lava flow is simply a flow of liquid rock down a slope that usually results from an effusive eruption. A pyroclastic flow is an avalanche-like flow of hot ash, rock and gas that moves down a volcano during an explosive eruption, The move much faster than lava flows and are far more dangerous.
What is lava that travels 100 mph down a hill called?
The closest match to this is a pyroclastic flow, but it isn't exactly lava: it is a cloud of hot ash, rock, and gas.
What are lava flows on a volcano?
A lava flow is where lava flows down the side of a volcano.
When lava erupts from Kilauea's summit where does it go?
down the hill
Where does a channel flow?
down hill
How can stop lava?
Different methods have been used including: breaching the sides of a lava tube or channel, diverting the flow, constructing barriers, and bombing the lava flow. Another way to stop a lava flow is to increase the lava flow's viscosity by spraying it with water, increasing the rate at which gas escapes from the flow, stirring the flow, or seeding the flow with foreign nuclei .In Italy, engineers have installed retaining walls to try and slow down lava flows coming down the side of Mount Etna, on the island of Sicily. These walls did slow down the lava flows enough that they didn't reach inhabited land. In Hawaii, engineers bombed narrow lava tubes, forcing the lava to lose energy. And in Iceland, firefighters sprayed water on lava flows for nearly 5 months, cooling it so that it solidified early and didn't block an important port.
What is the density independent of lava flow?
the lava flow is a density independent that flow good from the chemicals lava it have to flow and it is independent
Is there a difference between lava and lava flow?
Lava is molten rock at earth's surface, whether it is in a lava flow, a lava pool, or a lava dome. A lava flow is lava that is actively flowing downhill.
A lava flow cool as it moves away from the venthow would this affect the surface appearance of the lava flow?
Yes, each layer of overlapping lava cools down with the other creating a ripple-like appearance after the lava becomes rock
What way does the Amazon river flow into the Atlantic?
down-hill
Do rivers flow down hill because of gravity?
yes
What are general characteristics of landslides?
They all flow down hill.
