Whats the difference between lava flow, lahar flow, and pyroclastic flow?
Guest21668350 Lava flow – the flow of molten rock from a volcano Pyroclastic flow – a fast moving cloud of hot ash, gases, and rock from a volcano Lahar – a fast moving flow of muddy water form a volcano Lava flows are streams of molten rock that pour or ooze from an erupting vent. Lava is erupted during either nonexplosive activity or explosive lava fountains. Lava flows destroy everything in their path, but most move slowly enough that people can move out of the way. The speed at which lava moves across the ground depends on several factors, including (1) type of lava erupted and its viscosity; (2) steepness of the ground over which it travels; (3) whether the lava flows as a broad sheet, through a confined channel, or down a lava tube; and (4) rate of lava production at the vent. Pyroclastic flows are high-density mixtures of hot, dry rock fragments and hot gases that move away from the vent that erupted them at high speeds. They may result from the explosive eruption of molten or s
