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, ...

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 ...

A surge in pyroclastic density currents has been detected at Mayon Volcano in Albay in the past 24 hours, although these do ...

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 ...

A study shows that pyroclasts may be putting the conservation of the paintings of Pompeii at risk. Specifically, the ions leached from these materials and the underground ion-rich waters from the ...

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 identified a repeating trigger for the largest explosive volcanic eruptions on Earth. The Las Cañadas volcanic caldera on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, has generated at least eight ...
