What happens when you mix mud and sand together?
The result is called a lahar, a heavy, viscous mudslide that can create even more damage than a simple flood of water. Originally containing water condensed from lava, and meltwater from any existing glaciers on a volcano, a lahar can flow through existing lakes and rivers, scouring their shores and channels and carrying debris from the trees, buildings, and bridges destroyed in its path.
Why can't solids flow?
the atoms and molecules are packed so close together there is no room for them to pass through each other
The path along which electrical charges flow is called?
A conductor allows the flow of current, usually in a complete circuit. [An exception is a thermo-couple, where heating the junction of a pair of different metals causes electrons to flow away from the junction. ]
Difference between laminar air flow and reverse laminar aire flow?
difference between laminar air flow & reverse laminar air flow
What is the flow of tiny particles in electricity?
current flow
A mud flow on a volcano is called?
Lahar
Effects of lahar?
A lahar is basically a mudslide that has debris within its flow. Effects of a lahar include your home being destroyed, trees and other vegetation being destroyed, and the loss of people.
What is the term for a mudflow that includes numerous larger blocks of material?
lahar, debris flow
What is the difference between a pyroclastic flow and a lahar?
A lahar is a mudflow that results from water mixing with volcanic ash. They can be hot or cold.A pyroclastic flow is a flow of superheatd ash, rock and gas that moves down the side of a volcano and is much hotter than a lahar. This material is ejected directly from a volcano.
Was eyjafjallajokull a lahar or a pyroclastic flow?
Eyjafjallajökull was neither a lahar nor a pyroclastic flow. It was a stratovolcano in Iceland that erupted in 2010, producing a plume of ash that disrupted air travel in Europe.
Is a lahar is an example of a pluton?
No, a lahar is not an example of a pluton. A lahar is a volcanic mudflow that occurs when volcanic debris mixes with water, flowing down the slopes of a volcano. A pluton, on the other hand, is an igneous intrusion formed underground by the solidification of magma.
How is a lahar different from a debris flow that may occur in southern California?
A lahar is specifically a mudflow of volcanic origin, ruslting from water mixing with volcanic ash. The debris flows in Southern California com from the soil and material weathered from preexisting rock.
If a was stuck in a middle of a lava flow how would you get out?
FLY away if I could.
What is the difference between a lahar and a mudflow?
A lahar is a type of mudflow specifically composed of volcanic debris and water, often triggered by volcanic eruptions or volcanic activity. A mudflow, on the other hand, is a rapid flow of water-saturated earth materials that can occur due to heavy rainfall, snowmelt, or other natural causes.
Does mt st helens have pyroclastic flow?
No. It has a crater, which is not quite the same as a caldera.
A rapidly moving mixture of volcanic debris and water is a?
lahar. It is also known as a mudflow or debris flow, and it can be very destructive as it can travel at high speeds and pick up large rocks and debris along its path. Lahars are often triggered by volcanic eruptions or heavy rainfall on volcanic slopes.
How is a lahar different from a debris flow that might occur in southern California?
A lahar is a type of volcanic mudflow made up of a mixture of volcanic debris and water, typically triggered by volcanic activity. In contrast, a debris flow in southern California is often composed of rock, sediment, and water, occurring in mountainous regions due to heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt. Both can be destructive and pose hazards to communities in their paths.
