How far did the pyroplastic flow of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa travel?
it traveld 2500
How far is Krakatoa from the Indonesia?
Krakatoa is in Indonesia.
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.
Is Krakatoa dangerous?
Krakatoa has many hazards because it is a subduction volcano. Lava flow is of course a hazard for the area surrounding the volcano but hazards for areas further away include volcanic gases which produce acid rain and there can be volcanic debris that has the ability to travel quite far from the source. Other hazards can include ground cracks and tsunamis due to the sheer strength a volcanic eruption can expel.
Why doesnt the type of eruption that produces a lava plateau produce a volcanic mountain instead?
first lava flows out of several long cracks in an area. the thin runny lava travels far before cooling and solidifying. again and again floods of lava flow on top of earlier floods. After millions of years these layers of lava can form high plateaus!

How does the temperature of lava affect how far the lava will flow?
The hotter it is, the longer it takes to cool off, and the further it can flow.

Do rivers ever flow underground?
Lava, groundwater, sometimes minerals that have been melted and which flow into crevices. Depends on where and how far underground.

Krakatoa is 549 miles from San Francisco.
Which cave is guan's head in Mt lava-flow?
it is in the far right cave it takes five times to find it
How far aways was Krakatoa hears from?
its was a turtle
Why do scientists need to know the different types of lava flow?
The type of lava flow lets you know the different type of volcano. Not all volcanoes are "explosive". Basalt volcano you can practically stand and watch as it explodes. Where as an andesite volcano you want to be far away. Also the different lava flow lets you know where the melting is occurring. If the flow is high in granitic composition it means the continental crust has melted. If the flow is high in basalt it is a oceanic crust melt.
Does the Yellowstone volcano lava go to pennslyvanna?
No. The Yellowstone volcano is 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania. Lava cannot flow that far, and rhyolitic lava such as that produced by the Yellowstone volcano is so viscous that it can can barely flow at all. However, the volcano's eruptions are explosive and produce large amounts of ash. This would be carried by upper level winds and would fall on Pennsylvania.
