The most important characteristic of a Pelean eruption is the presence of a glowing avalanche of hot volcanic ash - or a pyoclastic flow. Gas, dust and lava fragments are blown out of a volcano's central crater. This travels down the side of the volcano at speeds in excess of 150 kilometers per hour

Only plinian and pelean volcanic eruptions features what flow?
Plinian and Pelean eruptions poth commonly produce pyroclastic flows. However, such flows can also occur with Vulcanian eruptions.
What is a plenean eruption?
It is unclear whether this question is asking about a Plinian eruption or a Pelean eruption. Both are explosive eruptions that produce large amounts of ash. A Pelean eruption is notable for large pyroclastic flows, superheated avalanches of ash, rock, and gas that race down the slopes of a volcano. Plinean eruptions are noted for producing enromous vertical columns of ash that extend for miles into the sky, sometimes reaching to over 20 miles high. The collapse of an an eruption column can result in pyroclastic flows. Plinian eruptions, particularly the sub-category of Ultra Plinian eruptions are the most violent events that Earth's volcanoes can produce.
