What else can I help you with?
What is the term for lava flow that travels downhill at over 100mph?
Pyroclastic flow
What is more deadly lava or pyroclastic flow?
Pyroclastic flow.
What volcano produces a pyroclastic flow?
an explosive volcano will usually have a pyroclastic flow
Can you outrun a pyroclastic flow?
No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.
How can pyroclastic flow be used in a sentence?
The pyroclastic flow from the volcano devastated the surrounding area, burying everything in its path under a blanket of ash and hot gases.
Does Krakatoa produce lava or pyroclastic flow?
Yes, of course Krakatoa has a pyroclastic flow. Every volcano has an pyroclastic flow, which can travel up to at huge speeds. Krakatoa's pyroclastic flow raced an amazing 200 mph over 20 miles of open sea. Yes Krakatoa has pyroclastic flows but not all volcanoes produce pyroclastic flows, only Mt. St. Helens type volcanoes usually composed of andesite. Kilauea for example does not produce pyroclastic flows because it is composed of basalt, the lava flows out easily.
In which direction does a pyroclastic flow move away from a volcano?
A pyroclastic flow moves away from a volcano in all directions.
What volcano has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava?

What was the size of eyjafjallajokull's pyroclastic flow?
The pyroclastic flow from the Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 traveled up to 5 km from the volcano, covering an area of about 65 square kilometers. The flow was relatively small compared to some volcanic eruptions but still caused significant disruption.
What does a pyroclastic flow sound like?
Strangely, pyroclastic flows are silent. The speed of sound inside such a flow is quite slow, slower than the speed at which the flow moves. Because of this and other acoustic properties, all sound produced by a pyroclastic flow remains trapped inside of it.
