Answer:

Pyroclastic Flow

Step-by-step explanation:

  • When the ash, cinders, bombs, and gases explode out of the volcano at a very high speed then such an eruption is known as a pyroclastic flow.
  • The average speed of eruption ranges from 100 km/h to up to 700 km/h.
  • The force responsible for such rapid movement is gravity.
  • The temperature of the gases erupted during a pyroclastic flow is very high and can reach upto1000 degree Celsius.
