Pyroclastic flows from Unzen were generated by gravitational collapse of the growing lava dome, near the city of Shimabara, Nagasaki (1991). Most of the flows traveled from 1 to 3 km, but some flows reached more than 4 km, burning houses and killing people in the evacuated zone of Kita-kamikoba on the eastern foot of the volcano.The velocities of the flows ranged from 15 to 25 m/s on the gentle middle flank.

The sky burns with fiery hues while ash clouds tower into the heavens, capturing the raw, unstoppable force of nature. A scene that reminds us how small we truly are before the power of the Earth. #Ethiopia #volcanoeruption #EpicEruption | Space Xplore | Facebook
