Ash, pumice, and volcanic bombs are examples of pyroclastic debris produced during volcanic eruptions. These materials are fragments of volcanic rock that are ejected during explosive eruptions and can vary in size and composition.
Yes. It is not uncommon for rhyolitic material to form pyroclastic flows.
Pyroclastic flow
No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.
Pyroclastic Material is classified by size from very fine dust and volcanic ash.
Pyroclastic material consists of fragments of rocks that forms during a volcanic eruption. Pyroclastic particles that are less than 2mm in diameter are called Volcanic Ash. Volcanic ash that are less than o.25 mm in diameter is called volcanic Dust. Large Pyroclastic particles that are less than 64 mm in diameter are called Lapilli

Some rocks are pyroclastic but most are not.
Pyroclastic flow.
volcanic pyroclastic = 'a'ā
an explosive volcano will usually have a pyroclastic flow
Yes. It is not uncommon for rhyolitic material to form pyroclastic flows.
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.
Pyroclastic flow
Pyroclastic material is more often felsic (acidic) or intermediate, but mafic (basic) pyroclastic material may also occur.
No. A pyroclastic flow can move at well over 100 mph.
No. Although a pyroclastic eruption will produce toxic gasses, the pyroclastic material itself consists of sperheated ash, pumice, and rock fragments.
