Pyroclastic Flow

A density current of pyroclastic material, usually very hot and composed of a mixture of gases and particles. A syn. of ash flow used in a more general sense in that an ash flow is composed of ash-sized pyroclasts.Neuendorf, K.K.E., Mehl, J.P., Jr., and Jackson, J.A., eds., 2011, Glossary of Geology: Alexandria, Virginia, American Geological Institute, 799 p.
