A pyroclatic flow is a superheated flow of hot air, debris, ash. boulders and toxic gases. The Pyroclastis flow comes pouring down the volcanoe at 140-150 MPH
the temperature can be around 1000 degrees Celsius.
Best hope you're not around when one of these go off. Also never get by the lava after it has been erupted!!!!!!!

Pyroclastic Materials. Any composition of lava can produce pyroclastic materials. Pyroclastic fragments are ejected from the volcano as solid fragments, often solidifying as they leave the volcanic vent, or fly through the air. Tephra comes in all sizes.
Volcanic airborne debris is classified as either solid (tephra, aka pyroclasts, including "volcanic bombs") or particulate (ash). Lava chunks ejected into the air around a vent is called "spatter."*When solids condense from gaseous pyroclastic flows, the rock material is called ignimbrite.
Medium-sized tephra consists of pyroclastic material that falls between fine ash and coarse lapilli in size. It typically ranges from 2 to 64 millimeters in diameter and is produced during explosive volcanic eruptions. Medium-sized tephra can pose hazards to aviation, infrastructure, and human health depending on the volcanic activity.

Blocks is the name used for the biggest pieces of tephra. Tephra is produced by a volcanic eruption.
