What makes it so dangerous is, it can be hotter than 800 degrees Celsius (1500 degrees Fahrenheit). It can flow downhill faster than 160 kilometers per hour (100 mi/h).

What is the direction of current flow in a Battery and why?

Current means flow. Electric current means flow of electric charges Now there are two kind of charges. They are positive and negative But current is defined as the flow of positive charges But in metallic wires there is no chance for positive charges to flow through. Only loosely bound electrons with negative charge are capable of flowing. So current is case of metallic wire is due to electrons. So we have to assign as "conventional current". Conventional current is always opposite to the flow of electron flow Now from a battery current (conventional) flows right from positive polarity to the negative polarity. But within batter is has to flow right from negative to positive so as to complete the circuit of flow.


Does electrictric flow in energy?

Electricity is the flow of electric charge through a conductor. It is a form of energy that can be harnessed to do work, such as powering devices or lighting bulbs. So, in a way, electricity does represent energy flow.

What will happen if a compass is suspend next to a conductor that is not carrying an electron flow?

If a compass is suspended next to a conductor that is not carrying an electron flow, there will be no effect on the compass. The flow of electrons is what creates a magnetic field, so without electron flow in the conductor, there will be no interaction with the compass needle.


Why is pushing metal objects into sockets dangerous?

Pushing metal objects into sockets is dangerous because it can lead to electrical shocks or short circuits. Metal is a conductor of electricity, so inserting a metal object can complete a circuit and cause current to flow through the object and into the person handling it, resulting in injury or even death. It is important to use proper tools and precautions when dealing with electrical outlets.

Why is a pyroclastic flow more dangerous than an earthquake?

An earthquake create a hazard of collapsing buildings and falling objects, which are the greatest threats. So it is quite possible to survive. A pyroclastic flow produces searing temperaturesthat can be well over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. You can survive the collapse of a building, but you cannot survive a pyroclastic flow.


what flow is a mix of gas and dust emitted by a volcano that is so dense that it hugs the ground?

Such a phenomenon is referred to as a pyroclastic flow.


How does a pyroclastic flow form?

a pyroclastic flow is where u squeeze a massive spot (somewhat like a supervolcano) so hard it erupts and all the puss dribbles down ur facebook and drips off ur chin into the Atlantic ocean (ur bath tub)


Why is pyroclastic flow dangerous and what is it?

A pyroclastic flows is a hot, fast-moving mass of ash, rock and gas that moves down the slopes of a volcano during an explosive eruption. Pyroclastic flows are dangerous because they are extremely hot, often hot enough to kill a person instantly. They also move very fast, often at speeds of 100 to 200 miles per hour, which makes it nearly impossible to escape from the path of one in time. Even if it were not for the heat, many pyroclastic flows carry enough force to level buildings.


Is Pyroclastic rock dangerous?

well, it is extremely hot molten rock, and it is hot enough to incnerate trees and houses, so yeah pretty dangerous.


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...


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.


What happened to make mount st Helens have a pyroclastic flow?

When Mt. st Helen's erupted it had a pyroclastic flow because all of its magma was high in silica so it cloged the pipe when the magma was trying to leave so when it finally exploded it came down as a pyroclastic flow


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.


What is a pyroclastic flow Why are they so dangerous?

Pyroclastic flows are dangerous. They can travel down slope at over 150 mph, somtimes much faster if propelled by a lateral blast. Temperatures inside the flows are often over 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Anyone caught in one of these will burn to death.


What makes jellyfish so dangerous?

Does Lava flow faster from a violent volcano?

A violent volcanic eruption will produce pyroclastic flows, which are somewhat like avalanches of hot ash and rock, rather than lava flows. Pyroclastic flows are faster than any lava flow. When they erupt effusively, though, the lava is so viscous that it flows very slowly.
