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 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, ...
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 ...
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 ...
BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Technologies ranging from mathematical modeling, geologic simulation and geographic information science to scientific computing and virtual reality are being combined by University at ...
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 ...
Guatemala’s Volcan de Fuego — Volcano of Fire — erupted spectacularly Sunday, shooting a plume of ash and gas nearly 6 miles into the sky and spreading ash and debris across towns and farms more than ...
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 ...
On Sunday, Guatemala's Volcán de Fuego — "Volcano of Fire" — erupted violently, spewing ash nearly four miles into the air and burying villages under an avalanche-like phenomenon called a pyroclastic ...
