  1. Pyroclastic Flow - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Nov 13, 1985 · 3.6.5 Pyroclastic Flows Pyroclastic flows are products of explosive eruptions and consist of particles of hot molten rock and gases which move rapidly over the ground surface. Large-scale …

  2. Pyroclastics - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Mar 16, 2013 · Pyroclastic flows containing abundant dense to slightly vesicular rock fragments entrained in an ash matrix (“block-and-ash” flows) are generally of smaller volume and typically …

  3. Pyroclastic Deposit - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Pyroclastic deposits are defined as accumulations of volcanic materials formed by the explosive fragmentation of magma during eruptions, which can be emplaced rapidly over large areas. They …

  4. Fluidization in pyroclastic flows - ScienceDirect

    Apr 15, 2024 · Pyroclastic flows are mixtures of gas and particles generated by gravitational collapse of lava domes or fall-back of eruption columns during explosiv…

  5. Inside pyroclastic density currents – uncovering the enigmatic flow ...

    Jan 15, 2017 · Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are the most lethal threat from volcanoes. While there are two main types of PDCs (fully turbulent, fully dilute p…

  6. Pyroclastic Fall Deposits - ScienceDirect

    Pyroclastic fall deposits form during explosive eruptions by the sedimentation of pyroclasts through the atmosphere from an eruption jet and/or plume. They are the simplest of pyroclastic products and yet …

  7. Pyroclastic Materials - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics

    Pyroclastic materials refer to volcanic products ejected during explosive eruptions, including pyroclastic density currents, ballistic bombs, scoria, and tephra fallout. These materials are characterized by …

  8. The hazards of unconfined pyroclastic density currents: A new synthesis ...

    Jan 1, 2022 · Pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) are the deadliest volcanic hazard, accounting for nearly a third of all historical volcano-related fatalities (Brown et al., 2017). They are also some of the …

  9. Geochronological constraints and fluid source tracing for the Dixu ...

    Dec 1, 2025 · The observed oxygen isotope characteristics of pyroclastic-hosted hydrothermal zircons suggest that the ore-forming fluids in the Dixu Carlin-type gold deposits have a multi-component …

  10. Human survival in volcanic eruptions: Thermal injuries in pyroclastic ...

    Aug 1, 2017 · Pyroclastic surges devastated the evacuated village of Umbulharjo, amongst others, while several dense block-and-ash flows filled the Gendol valley for 15.5 km, with localised overspills of the …
