Mount Pinatubo's explosive eruption on June

15, 1991, was the second largest volcanic eruption of the century and by far the largest
to affect a densely populated area. High-speed avalanches of hot ash and gas
(pyroclastic flows), massive mudflows (lahars), and a cloud of volcanic ash hundreds
of miles across were all produced by the eruption.
