Away from the volcano as fast as you possibly can, preferably upwind. If you try to seek shelter where you are, you run the risk of being broiled alive by a scalding cloud of gas and dust known as a pyroclastic flow.

In which direction would volcanic ash travel?

Most volcanic ash do travel in the direction of the prevailing wind. But they do initialy move randomly after eruption.

What are differences between an eruption column and pyroclastic flow?

An eruption column is a vertical column of ash and volcanic gases rising above a volcano during an explosive eruption, while a pyroclastic flow is a fast-moving avalanche of hot rock fragments and volcanic gases that flows down the sides of a volcano at high speed. Eruption columns are visible in the sky, while pyroclastic flows move rapidly along the ground, causing devastation in their path.


In case of a volcanic eruption what is the best thing to do?

The safest thing to do during a volcanic eruption:1.Dont stand near the volcano.2.Keep as far away from the volcano as possible.3.Run more then 8 metres away from it.4.Tell someone about it for safety reasons.5.KEEP AWAY FROM IT UNTIL IT IS FINISH.ERUPTING.... EVEN IF IT IS FINISHED ERUPTINGKEEP AWAY FROM IT FOR ABOUT 25-45 MINUTESJUST IN CASE THE ERUPTION STARTS AGAIN.


Why it is difficult for scientists to predict a volcanic eruption?

Irregularity of the plates as they move against each other, very limited knowledge of lava flow, and a lack of understanding about how exactly Vulcanism occurs.


What kind of risk management should be taken to stop volcanic eruption?

A volcanic eruption is an immensely powerful and energetic event, and there's just no realistic way to stop something like that through risk management. What risk management can do however, is to provide a plan that helps reduce the consequences of an eruption. RM would tell you to use geologists to predict the likelihood of an eruption, when to move expensive equipment away from the risk area, when to evacuate personnel, and even whether to establish some kind project in the vicinity of the volcano at all.


What caused the volcanic eruption to erupt?

There are plates that are always shifting around in the ground. They move 1cm every day. When the plates collide,they make a big BOOM which cause the things in the volcano to heat up. Then the heat pushes everything to the opening in the volcano which causes it to erupt and shoot out.


In a volcanic eruption where do larger pieces of debris fall?

Larger pieces of debris from a volcanic eruption tend to fall closer to the eruptive source, creating pyroclastic flows and surges that move downslope rapidly due to gravity. These larger fragments can accumulate near the base of the volcano or be carried for some distance by the flow before settling.

Yes, but only at night as it is the safest time.


What do pyroclastic flows contain?

Pyroclastic flows contain a mixture of hot gas, ash, and volcanic rock fragments that move rapidly downhill from a volcanic eruption. They can reach speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour and can be extremely destructive, causing devastation to anything in their path.
