coughing
- ash get into the lungs
- some cases it can
cause death
- ash get into the lungs
- can cause harm
when in the areas,

coughing
- What is Ashfall?
- Pyroclasticflow
- What is Pyroclastic Flow?
- Highly dense mixture of hot,dry
rock fragments and hot gases
that move away from the vent
once it's erupted at high speeds
- Highly dense mixture of hot,dry
rock fragments and hot gases
that move away from the vent
once it's erupted at high speeds
- How fast does it travel?
- Rock fragments ranging in size from ash
to boulders travel across the ground at
speeds greater than 80km per hour
- Rock fragments ranging in size from ash
to boulders travel across the ground at
speeds greater than 80km per hour
- How far does it travel?
- can flow 50 kilometres from source
- can flow 50 kilometres from source
- How hot is it?
- pinatubo - 750 degrees C

- Case study Example
- Mt Pinotoba (Philippines)
- How many times has it erupted?
- Has had at least 6 periods of
activity with large explosions
in it's 35,000 years.

- What is Pyroclastic Flow?
- Lahars
- what are Lahars?
- they are a hot or cold
mixture of water and rock
fragments flowing down the
volcano
- How far/fast do they travel?
- small fragments of rck can
travel a few metres per
second, but a large lahar can
flow tens of metres per
seconds - too fast for people
to out run

- what are Lahars?
- Gasses
- Definition
- small particles
released into the
atmosphere
which has been
made in the
volcano
- small particles

volcano
- cases study
- Lak Ngos
- in Camaroon
- estimated

exposed co2 gases
in the atmosphere,
slowly absorbing
the suns raise
