Potential volcano-related hazards
Ballistic Projectile
Volcanic Gas
Pyroclastic Flow
Rock fragment that is ejected from a volcano during its
explosive eruption.
Ballistic Projectile
Consists of sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, which are poisonous
and hazardous to organisms. These are the main components of the
magma that is spewed out during an eruption.
Volcanic Gas
The fast-moving fluidized mass of rock fragments and
gases.
Pyroclastic Flow
Molten rock that pours down from the slopes of the
volcano.
Lava Flow
Composed of bits and pieces of pulverized rocks, minerals, and
volcanic glass generated from the volcanic eruption.
Ash Fall
An Indonesian term for the mixture of water, pyroclastic
materials, and rock fragments flowing down a volcano or river
valley.
Lahar
