What is the difference between a pyroclastic flow and a lahar?
A lahar is a mudflow that results from water mixing with volcanic ash. They can be hot or cold.A pyroclastic flow is a flow of superheatd ash, rock and gas that moves down the side of a volcano and is much hotter than a lahar. This material is ejected directly from a volcano.
A type of mudflow associated with violent eruptions?
A lahar is type of mudflow associated with violent eruptions. It is composed of a slurry of pyroclastic material, water and rocky debris.
Why do pyroclastic flows have a higher percentage of deaths than lahars?
A lahar is a mudflow that behaves in a similar manner to a flood, though it is much denser. You can be swept away by a lahar, but you can still escape.A pyroclastic flow moves much faster than a lahar, so it is much harder to escape. If you care caught in one you will likely be subjected to temperatures of hundreds of degrees. Such conditions are not survivable.
What is the difference between a pyroclastic flow and a pyroclastic surge?
A pyrcoclastic flow is is much denser than a pyroclastic surge, as a large portion of it is composed of ash and rock. A pyrcolastic surge is composed more of gas.
What is a Torrential mudflow of wet volcanic debris is called?
it is called a lahar
Was eyjafjallajokull a lahar or a pyroclastic flow?
Neither. It is a volcano that famously erupted in 2010. The eruption produced pyroclastic flows.
What is the difference between a lahar and a mudflow?
A lahar is a specific type of mudflow formed primarily of volcanic material.

Difference between a lahar and a nuee ardent?
A lahar is a mudflow that forms from water mixing with volcanic material, primarily ash. A nuee ardente, more commonly known as a pyroclastic flow, is a superheated, fast-moving body of ash, rock, and gas that moves down the sides of a volcano as a direct result of an explosive eruption.

What is the difference between tephra and pyroclastic flow?
Tephra flow is fragments of volcanic rock and lava. Pyroclastic flow is fast moving current of hot gas and rock.
What is a Torrential mudflow of wet volcanic debris is called?
it is called a lahar
What is the difference between pyroclastic flows and lava flows?
Lava is molten rock at earth's surface. A pyroclastic flow is an avalanch-like flow of hot ash, rock, and gas that moves down a volcano's flanks at great speed.
What is a slide of hot mud?
The answer is LAHAR.
Is a lahar lava?
No. A lahar is a mudflow formed by a mixture of water and volcanic ash.
