How does an explosive erupton produce proclastic flow?

The explosive eruption has got to be powerful enough to create an eruption column (a Jet of hot gas and magma particles). This is shot into the atmosphere by the force of the eruption but the weight of the stuff in the eruption column is so great that it collapses back down on itself under gravity and runs down the sides of the volcano as a pyroclastic flow.

What will the next world crisis be?

in opinion (and if u think i am weird because im only 13 and writing this then shut down this article right now) but i think the next world crisis is not the polar ice caps melting because of 'Globle Warming' or starvastion or polution. I think that the next world crisis will be an experiment gone wrong. i think from my studies in science and scienceist experiments on bombs and atoms spliting and i think scienceits will get nothing from that and work higher and suddenly someone sneaks a little of hyderbilfian peroxide ( a very dangerious flamible chemical[very rarer]) and magnesium noxide(aslo same thing but metal liquid that is not flamible but explostive) and someone with want some thing more and add those together with spiting an atom at the same time and BOOM! the place will cause a neuclyer not bomb but erupton like a volcano and with the winds ( lets just say this is in Texas) it will blow out Texas and and will sprend to the bordered states around it and then that will cause server dryness and smof in the air so thick that can sufficate you in 1 huff. then that will create another dust bowl and then that will serverly polute the water and air. and people are always complaneing their are too many people well they will not have to worry about that for long now i know you are wondering how i came up with this and you might i am some super smart science geek but think again really i have a D in science but i think beyond anyone in this world and i am telling you right now that this can happen. just think.
