Pyroclastic flows can reach up to 700 km/h (450 mph)
Deriving from the Greek pyr (âfireâ) and klastos (âbroken in piecesâ), pyroclastic flows are clouds of gas and volcanic matter that spread across the ground after a volcanic eruption. They can even cross large bodies of water, and can reach temperatures of 1,000 °C (1,830 °F).Â
A pyroclastic flow would not suffocate you, because you would be incinerated before there was time to breathe.
