Pyroclastic flow is kind of like the alien wall of fire in Independence Day. It's full of rocks, ash and hot gas.

The term of bimrocks (bimsoils, SRM, RSA) is used to describe the mixture of fine particles and larger blocks, such as mélanges, coarse pyroclastic rocks, breccias, colluviums and alluviums, fault ...

Pyroclastic rocks dissolve easily, while lavas are perhaps the hardest rocks that exist, so when a lava flow is underlain by a pyroclastic rock, it gradually erodes, resulting in the overlying ...

Pyroclastic flows are a mixture of hot gas along with volcanic matter, like ash and rock fragments, she said. They are incredibly hot and can travel faster than a moving vehicle in some cases.

Pyroclastic flows can reach speeds up to 450 mph and the gas can get as hot as 1,800 degrees. They incinerate anything in their path, and can form these twisters if the conditions are right.

We introduce a modification to the current IUGS classification system for igneous rocks to include ultramafic lamprophyres, which are currently entirely omitted. This is done by including a new step ...
