In addition to suffocating ash and flowing lava, pyroclastic flows are probably the most dangerous feature of some volcanoes. Pyroclastic flows are currents of extremely hot gases and rocks that flow down and away from the slopes of volcanoes. They travel at speeds has high as 450 mph, and the temperature of the gas and rock can reach more than 1800° F (1000° C).

What is the type of hazards does mt kilauea have?
Well if lava gets into the house you will all surely die in the most long and painful way you could ever imagine.
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.
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.
Most common gas emitted during volcanic?
I think it is carbon dioxide.
What are some less hazards from volcanic eruption?
The only effective method of risk mitigation is evacuation prior to such eruption from areas likely to be affected by pyroclastic flows. 5 - Lahars ( volcanic mud and debris flows) are a common major volcanic hazard for people and property. Laharslikewise proceed very quicky and possess great destructive power.
What are the most common and serious volcanic hazards?
When, for various reasons, rock from the mantle melts, it sometimes moves to the Earth's surface through weak spots in the crust, releasing heat, gasses, and rock--a volcanic eruption

What is Japans most common natural disaster?
Japan has earthquakes, tsunami's, volcanoes, snow avalanches and many other hazards.
Most common volcanic rock?
The most abundant silicic volcanic rock is Basalt. This is a main hazardous and acidic effect of an explosive volcano. Please be careful when travelling to places with active volcano.
