  1. In 79 AD, the #ancient #city of #Herculaneum was #overwhelmed and #buried by multiple #pyroclasticflows resulting from a devastating #eruption of Mount #Vesuvius. The city's everyday environment was abruptly #encased in #solidrock, allowing #organicmaterials to be #preserved better than in #Pompeii. These include the #Herculaneumpapyri (see ref).

  3. MCDuncanLab has posted an excellent first person account of the Mount St Helen eruption.

    And I watched a doco about the big 1257 C.E. eruption of #Samalas on Lombok, a larger Indonesian island.

    Been looking since for info on how far a pyroclastic flow has gone.
    So far I've found
    170km (105 miles) - Mt Aso, Japan
    600km on planet Mars.

    Physics of pyroclastic flows work isn't settled?
