The eruption column may collapse due to decreasing gas content in the magma or failure of the column to entrain enough air.

Why might part of an eruption column collapse to form a pyroclastic flow?

A collapse can occur if the eruption column becomes too dense, leading to instability. This density can be caused by the accumulation of dense volcanic materials like ash and pumice. When the column collapses, it can create a fast-moving pyroclastic flow that travels downslope, posing a significant hazard to surrounding areas.


What eruption of pyroclastic material was the most devastating?

That would be a matter of opinion, but a reasonable choice might be the eruption of Vesuvius that destroyed and buried Pompei in 76 CE.


How might an erupting volcano damage living things?

If it is an effusive eruption, the lava can burn living organisms. In an explosive eruption pyroclastic flows can sweep away, bury and/or burn living organisms. Ash can poison the soil and cause animals to suffocate. Plants and animals alike may be exposed to toxic gasses.

What are two ways which volcanic mountains might get smaller?

Volcanic mountains can get smaller through erosion, where wind, water, and ice gradually wear down the volcano's surface over time. They can also decrease in size through volcanic collapse, where the eruption of magma causes the structure of the volcano to weaken and collapse inward.
