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.
Pyroclastic Material is classified by size from very fine dust and volcanic ash.
Mt Etna produces basaltic lava, which is low in silica and flows more easily. It also releases pyroclastic material, which is a mix of hot rock fragments, ash, and gas released during volcanic eruptions.
Lava is not a form of pyroclastic material. Pyroclastic materials are formed from volcanic eruptions and include ash, pumice, and volcanic rock fragments that are ejected into the air during explosive eruptions. In contrast, lava refers to molten rock that flows from a volcano, primarily during effusive eruptions.
No, pahoehoe lava is not considered pyroclastic debris. Pahoehoe is a type of basaltic lava that has a smooth, rope-like texture due to its low viscosity. Pyroclastic debris refers to fragmented material such as ash, volcanic rocks, and gases that are blasted out of a volcano during an explosive eruption.
Pahoehoe lava, which has a low viscosity and flows more easily, is less likely to form a pyroclastic flow compared to a'a lava, which is more viscous and tends to fragment into pyroclastic material when flowing.

Lava because pyroclastic material explodes from a volcano, Lava just runs down the surface of the volcano nonexplosive or explosive.
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.

Usually not. Although it is possible to have pyroclastic material with a basaltic composition, most basaltic rocks are from simple lava flows.
Cooled magma, lava, or pyroclastic material is igneous rock. Cooled magma forms intrusive igneous rock, while lava and pyroclastic material form extrusive rock. Anything beyond that depends on more specific factors.
Pyroclastic material is another name for a cloud of ash, lava fragments carried through the air, and vapor.
Pyroclastic material is material that emanates from a volcano. It is composed of gases, volcanic ash, lava fragments and rocks.
