At least 62 people were reported killed when Guatemala’s Volcan de Fuego erupted on Sunday, June 3, sending plumes of rock, gas, and ash over nearby villages, as well as a fast-moving and destructive ...

After an eruption, DIY cushions of gas help searing torrents of gas, ash, and rock spread miles from their source within a matter of minutes. Pyroclastic flows contain a deadly combination of hot rock ...

Scientists think they’ve figured out how pyroclastic flows, fast-moving bringers of death during volcanic events, can travel such incredible distances and speeds despite the friction between the ...

Volcanologist Professor Chris Jackson discovers evidence of the deadly pyroclastic flow. Volcanologist Professor Chris Jackson reveals the power of the deadly pyroclastic flow that had swept through ...

One of the leading killers during explosive volcanic eruptions is a family of superheated gas, ash, and debris known as pyroclastic density currents. These tumbling, turbulent paroxysms rush downslope ...

Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) represent some of the most formidable and complex volcanic phenomena, characterised by a turbulent mixture of solid particles and gases that surge down slopes at ...

An international team of scientists has uncovered the secrets of the speed of pyroclastic flow that brings death and destruction following a volcano eruption. A pyroclastic flow is an extremely hot ...

Scientists have discovered that the scorching material spewed from a volcano during eruptions generates a layer of air between it and the ground, allowing it to surf along at extreme speeds, ...

Dumping literal tons of hot volcanic material down a lab flume may finally have revealed how searing mixtures of hot gas and rock travel so far from volcanic eruptions. These pyroclastic flows can ...
