What else can I help you with?
Can you out run lava?
It depends on the type of volcano. In the case of a stratovolcano, also called a composite volcano (the kind with a tall, conical mountain) you would be struck by hot ash from a pyroclastic flow, and there is no way that you could out run that (although you should never give up)! In a shield volcano, like the ones in Hawaii, there is no pyroclastic flow and you could probably out run the lava.
Which is faster a lava flow pyroclastic flow or lahar?
Pyroclastic flows move much faster than lava flows and carry much more momentum. This means there is little time tog et out of the way, and that they can pass over barriers that would stop or deflect lava flows. They can also carry more material. A single pyroclastic flow can bury an area to several meters thick in a matter of seconds.
Is a volcano magma?
No. Volcanic activity tends to lower global temperatures, which would promote glaciers to grow rather than melt. Isotopic analysis of the carbon dioxide being added to the atmosphere shows that most of it is not volcanic. Either way, there is no evidence of a shift in volcanic activity.
Is there any way to survive a pyroclastic flow?
Technically yes. However, only a handful of people have ever survived a pyroclastic flow. A few people have been inside sturdy structures, either deep inside or with only small openings. One man survived in a jail cell. Most of these people still suffered third degree burns. Another person survived after he was knocked into a river and did not come up until after the flow had passed. Not inhaling is likely a key factor to prevent the gasses from searing your lungs. These survival cases appear to have been those caught at the edge of a flow or in a less dense pyroclastic surge and so any deposits of burning hot ash were thin.
How is a pyroclastic flow managed?
Pyroclastic flows are extremely dangerous and difficult to manage. The best way to deal with them is through monitoring volcanic activity and issuing warnings to evacuate areas at risk. Building barriers and diversion channels can also help mitigate the impact of pyroclastic flows on communities living near active volcanoes.

How is a pyroclastic flow stopped?
A Pyroclastic Flow can't be stopped!! Even if you're there. If you are any where near a volcano when a Pyroclastic Flow occurs, you will most likely be dead within 30 seconds of seeing it.-Their speed may be as fast as the speed of sound.So Pyroclastic Flows can't be stopped, and aren't stopped.

How can you survive a pyroclastic eruption?
The best way to survive a pyroclastic eruption is to get far from the volcano, beyond the reach of pyroclastic flows. Stay away from stream channels to avoid mudflows. If you experience heavy ashfall, breath through a wet rag.
What doe you do whena pyroclastic flow comes?
Well, pyroclastic flow will preserve your body so the best thing to do is strike a pose! There is no way to outrun it unless you have your own super-fast private jet. I don't...so I'm thinking of going for a Megan Fox pose...
Is Pokémon Volcano like Pokémon Indigo?
No, Pokemon Volcano is way different because there are maps that you can move your character on. And also encountering Pokemon in Pokemon Volcano is different.

How do you move water from one place to another?
A bucket or if you are trying to move like a river to flow one way, you dig a trench leading from the river/pond to where you want it.
How can you survive a volcano?
OK, i don't know why someone changed my old answer (pray) because there is no physical way of surviving a direct volcanic explosion. If lava runs you over at who knows how many degrees, you will die and if a chunk of lava flies through the air and hits you, you will also catch fire (and die) or melt (and die), depending on the size of the lava mass. If a rock propelled by the explosion hits you, you will either die of the impact or being suffocated/burned when you pass out from the hit and die of indirect causes. If you are too close to the fumes of the volcano or lava (lava releases CO2 and Sulfur gas - both harmful to humans), you will suffocate and die. If there is a pyroclastic flow, you will be burned at thousands of degrees and die (no one as ever survived a pyroclastic flow and don't bet on being the first). If you become stranded on an "island" in a flowing river of lava, the heat will dehydrate you, or if sufficient, catch you on fire and kill you, no to mention the toxic gases released by lava suffocating you. If there is a terrestrial rainfall or pumice rain, and you are completely exposed, you may or may not die, but for sure you will become impaired. And lets not even mention if you are on the cone of the volcano when the eruption takes place; that's obviously a guaranteed death. Basically you will not survive a volcanic eruption if you are near it long enough, I'm assuming your question implies that you survive the entire length of the volcanic activity within a near distance, and history will support that. Look at Pompey, not even on the volcano and nearly the entire city wiped out, or the Minoan civilization which was on a separate island from the volcano and had many people killed (an indirect cause of the fall of Minoan civilization BTW) and Krakatoa too. So physically you will not survive, and therefore you're better off praying, unless you can outrun the volcano's wrath (don't forget volcanoes typically have earthquakes too and as for pyroclastic flows; they move at over a hundred mph, way faster than any human) or you can find some type of man-made shelter that can withstand lava, which doesn't exist by the way.
When mount merapi erupts do they try and stop the lava flow?
No. Recent eruptions of Mount Merapi have produced pyroclastic flows instead of lava flows. Pyrolastic flows are fast-moving currents of hot ash, rock, and gas. There is no way of stopping or deflecting them.
