Review questions 1-10 Pages 146-147 1. Describe the three different kinds of material that can erupt from a volcano. Products of eruption come in three forms; lave flow‚ which can be Basaltic‚ Andesitic or Rhyolitic lava. A volcano also erupts pyroclastic debris (when lava flies into the air and freezes) and gases. 2. Contrast a pyroclastic flow with a lahar. Pyroglastic debris are blasting clots of lava‚ and the lahar are like mudslides that can reach up to 50km per hour. When the
