Pyroclastic flows--ground-hugging mixtures of particles and hot gas-- represent a significant hazard to population centers located near volcanic edifices. However, many aspects of the transport mechanism of these flows remain poorly understood. For instance, the exceptional mobility and internal structure of pyroclastic flows (some of which have traveled ...

stratovolcanoes
Pyroclastic flows*, lava domes**,and cinder cones sometimes characterize stratovolcanoes. Usually, these types of volcanoes erupt explosively and violently, sometimes completely blowing their tops! *Pyroclastic flows (right) don't really look much like "flowing" eruptions. They look more like big explosions, complete with billowing clouds.What happens during a pyroclastic ...
