The pyroclastic flows from the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa traveled as far as 40 kilometers away from the volcano. These flows were extremely hot and fast-moving, causing widespread destruction in the surrounding areas.
A lava flow is simply a flow of liquid rock down a slope that usually results from an effusive eruption. A pyroclastic flow is an avalanche-like flow of hot ash, rock and gas that moves down a volcano during an explosive eruption, The move much faster than lava flows and are far more dangerous.
Krakatoa is located in the Sunda Strait in Indonesia, while Java is an island in Indonesia. The closest point of Java to Krakatoa is approximately 50 kilometers (31 miles).
The lava flows from Mount Etna's recent eruptions in February 2021 reached up to about 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) in length. The eruption resulted in spectacular lava fountains and flows, but fortunately, there were no reports of major damage or injuries.
Krakatoa is located in Indonesia, specifically in the Sunda Strait between the islands of Java and Sumatra. It is approximately 160 kilometers (100 miles) west of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia.
The temperature of lava affects its viscosity, or how easily it flows. Hotter lava has lower viscosity and can flow more easily, often traveling further than cooler, more viscous lava. Cooler lava tends to be more sluggish and may not flow as far before solidifying.

Krakatoa is 549 miles from San Francisco.
Lava, groundwater, sometimes minerals that have been melted and which flow into crevices. Depends on where and how far underground.
it is in the far right cave it takes five times to find it
its was a turtle
The type of lava flow lets you know the different type of volcano. Not all volcanoes are "explosive". Basalt volcano you can practically stand and watch as it explodes. Where as an andesite volcano you want to be far away. Also the different lava flow lets you know where the melting is occurring. If the flow is high in granitic composition it means the continental crust has melted. If the flow is high in basalt it is a oceanic crust melt.

No. The Yellowstone volcano is 1,500 miles from Pennsylvania. Lava cannot flow that far, and rhyolitic lava such as that produced by the Yellowstone volcano is so viscous that it can can barely flow at all. However, the volcano's eruptions are explosive and produce large amounts of ash. This would be carried by upper level winds and would fall on Pennsylvania.

first lava flows out of several long cracks in an area. the thin runny lava travels far before cooling and solidifying. again and again floods of lava flow on top of earlier floods. After millions of years these layers of lava can form high plateaus!
