I PROMSHe ho
Fast turbulent flow of fragmented
volcanic materials (ash and rocks)
mixed with hot gases.
IWAPRCT The high temperature of a pyroclastic
flows can bum everything along its path. Pyroclastic
flows can fill iver valleys and low lying areas with
thick deposits.
2 LARLON
Flow of molten rock materials,
IMPACT: Areas buried by lava flows will
not be usable for along time, because of
‘he solid nature of lava deposits.
SAM EARN,
‘Shower of fine-to-coarse-grained
fragmented materials resulting froma
Volcanic eruption. Ashfall distribution
‘oF dispersalis dependent on prevailing
‘ind direction.
IMPACT: Fine ash particles when inhaled
an cause respiratory problems ‘Thick
heavy ash accumulations| can couse roofs
to collapse
~~ =
A volcano
fissure from
ll, mountain o
h molten or hot
rocks with gaseous materials are
ejected. The term also applies to
a crater formed by removal of
pre-existing materials, or hill or
mountain formed by accumulation
or ejected materials.
(A}UAHARS)
Rapidly flowing thick mixture of
volcanic materials and water.
IMPACT: Usher deposits can bury large
{areas under more than T-meter thick
Volearie debris.
ISIVOUCANIC\GASES)
Gases released ftom volcanoes. Most
‘abundant gas released is water vapor
Which is harmless, However, significant
‘amount of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide,
hydrogen sulfide and|hydrogen halides.
‘can also be emitted from volcanoes
