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 ...

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, ...

Dumping literal tons of hot volcanic material down a lab flume may finally have revealed how searing mixtures of hot gas and rock travel so far from volcanic eruptions. These pyroclastic flows can ...
