Pyroclastic flow typically occurs during a violent eruption.
No. A "quiet" eruption will produce lava flows. Pyroclastic flows generally result from explosive eruptions.
No, pyroclastic flows typically occur during explosive volcanic eruptions when hot gas and volcanic particles travel rapidly down the side of the volcano. Quiet eruptions, such as lava flows, do not produce pyroclastic flows.

Mount Etna has had both explosive and "quiet" eruptions and has produced lava flows, lava fountains, and pyroclastic flows.

The pyroclastic flow from the volcano devastated the surrounding area, burying everything in its path under a blanket of ash and hot gases.
the volcano that has pyroclastic flow in addition to liquid lava is the composite or stratovolcano.
Pyroclastic flow is gas that result from water mixing with loose material on the steep sides of a volcano.
