Would you rather survive an avalanche or a volcanic eruption?

Volcanic eruption. It must be more painful because you literraly melt.

What is a volcano lateral blast?
A lateral blast is an explosive volcanic eruption the ejects material horizontally to one side rather than vertically as most explosive eruptions do.
What are the weather types before a volcano?
Since a volcanic eruption is a geologic event rather than a weather event, there will be no indication from the weather prior to an eruption. There are, however, geologic indicators that can point to a future eruption. Indicators include earthquakes near the volcano, venting of hot gas, and deformation of the ground.
What type of succession occurs after a natural process such as a volcanic eruption or flood?
primary succession rather than secondary because primary is when you start completely new.
What volcanic eruption caused the world to go dark?
No volcanic eruption in human history has darkened the entire world. But about 535 AD a volcano at Krakatoa erupted so violently it may have darkened the sky around the world to an extent that it caused famines and threw Europe into the Dark Ages (they are not called the Dark Ages because the sky was dark, rather it was considered to be a period of intellectual darkness).
Do lava flows cause more deaths than other volcanic hazards?
No. Lava flows usually move rather slowly, giving time to evacuate. The deadliest volcanic hazard is the pyroclastic flow. These are avalanche-like clouds of ash, rock, and gas that race down the sides of a volcano, burning everything in their path. Many people have been killed by ash, either by suffocating or from collapsing roofs. Many people have been killed by muflows called lahars that form when water from rain or melting ice mixes with volcanic ash. In 1883 tens of thousands were killed by tsunamis triggered when the island of Krakatoa collapsed in a cataclysmic eruption.
What do lava flows made of pahoehoe and AA indicate about the type of volcanic eruption that occured?
They indicate that an eruption is effusive rather than explosive.
What do lava flows made of pahoehoe and AA indicate about the type of volcanic eruption the occured?
They indicate that an eruption is effusive rather than explosive.
What does flank mean in a volcano?
a volcanic eruption that takes place on the sides rather than the summit
What do lava flows the made of pahoehoe and AA Indicate about the type of volcanic eruption that occurred?
Lava flows of pahoehoe and aa indicate that the eruption was effusive ("quiet") rather than explosive, or only very mildly explosive.
What is a volcano lateral blast?
A lateral blast is an explosive volcanic eruption the ejects material horizontally to one side rather than vertically as most explosive eruptions do.

Do earthquakes cause volcanoes to explode?
In most cases, no. However, there is evidence that, on a few occasions, earthquakes appear to have triggered eruptions, most likely by disturbing the magma chamber beneath the volcano. Earthquakes often precede a volcanic eruption, be these are not the cause of the eruption, but are rather a result of the movement of magma that leads to an eruption.
What is the probability of someone dying in an avalanche?
The question is ambiguous. Does it seek the probability thatsome random person in the world dies in an avalanche, orsomeone who is caught in an avalanche dying rather than surviving, orthe cause of a someone dying is an avalanche rather than something else?
What type of succession occurs after a natural process such as a volcanic eruption or flood?
primary succession rather than secondary because primary is when you start completely new.
