Can rhyolite be pyroclastic?
Yes. It is not uncommon for rhyolitic material to form pyroclastic flows.
How are lava and pyroclastic material classified?
Both lava and pyroclastic material are classified as rocks. Lava is molten rock and pyroclastic material is various debris. There is Basaltic lava, Andesitic lava, Dacite lava, and Rhyolitic lava.
Is a pyroclastic material high or low-viscosity?
Pyroclastic material can form with magma of any composition, but it is more likely to form with high-viscosity magma.
What kind of material comes out of Mt Etna lava or pyroclastic material?
Both come out of Mount Etna. It is a composite volcano which means it alternates between erupting with pyroclastic material and lava.
How are pyroclastic materials classified?
Pyroclastic Material is classified by size from very fine dust and volcanic ash.
Which pyroclastic material is the most dangerous?
Blocks are the most dangerous pyroclastic material.
Are magma and rock both pyroclastic materials?
No. Magma is molten rock that is beneath earth's surface. When it erupts it can form lava or pyroclastic material. Although pyroclastic material can form rocks, most rocks are not from pyroclastic material.
Is a rock a pyroclastic material?
Some rocks are pyroclastic but most are not.
Is Pyroclastic rock basic or acid?
Pyroclastic material is more often felsic (acidic) or intermediate, but mafic (basic) pyroclastic material may also occur.
Is pyroclastic material poisonous gas?
No. Although a pyroclastic eruption will produce toxic gasses, the pyroclastic material itself consists of sperheated ash, pumice, and rock fragments.
Can rhyolite be pyroclastic?

Is pyroclastic material likely to form from low- viscosity or high - viscosity?
Pyroclastic material is more likely to form with high viscosity magma.
