Pyroclastic flows and surges
PYROCLAST: all solid fragments ejected from volcanoes
PYROCLASTIC FLOW: A flow of hot gas and volcanic material ranging from vesiculated, low-density pumice to unvesiculated, dense clasts which tends to follow topographic lows (i.e., valleys) as it moves; contains 10’s% by volume of solid
PYROCLASTIC SURGE: A turbulent, low-density, high-velocity part of a pyroclastic flow - it is not constrained by topography as a pyroclastic flow; contains 0.1-1% by volume of solids

Lahars
DEBRIS FLOW: Viscous, flowing slurry of rock fragments containing 10 to 25 wt % of water - solid material carries the water, water lubricates the flow
HYPERCONCENTRATED FLOW: Turbulent flow of water mixed with enough sediments (60-75 wt %) to possess some yield strength
LAHAR: Indonesian term that describes a hot or cold mixture of water and rock fragments flowing down the slopes of a volcano and/or adjacent river valleys -comprises debris and hyperconcentrated flows
