DIFFERENT TYPES OF

VOLCANIC HAZARD
VOLCANIC HAZARD

• A volcanic hazard refers to any

potentially dangerous volcanic process
that puts woman live , livelihood or
infrastructure at risk of harm.
• Even though volcanoes can be
dangerous , there are lots of reasons
why people live alongside them.
• knowing about volcanic hazard is just
one way that people can reduce their
risk.
 DIFFERENT TYPES OF VOLCANIC HAZARD

• Tephra and Falls

• Tephra is used as the catch-all term to
describe all erupted clasts regardless of
size , while the term ash describe
particles of less than 2mm in size.
 GAS
• various gasses can be emitted by
active volcanoes before , during or
after eruptive event. The five main
gasses that pose at threat to health
are:
• carbon dioxide
• hydrogen chloride
• hydrogen fluoride
• hydrogen Sulfide
• Sulphur dioxide
LAVA FLOWS AND LAVA DOMES

• Lava flows are flows of magma

extruded onto the surface a
volcano. Lava domes form when
high-viscosity lava is slowly
erupted from volcano.
FLOOD BASALTS

• flood basalts are an

exceptional form of lava
flow. This eruption are
rare and our
understanding these
events is based on study if
past eruption.
PYROCLASTIC FLOWS

• Pyroclastic flows are hot 'density

currents' consisting of mixtures of
rocks debris and gas that flow
along the ground at high speed.
LANDSLIDE AND DEBRIS AVALANCHES

• Debris avalanches and

landslide are common and can
be triggered are the result of
volcanic explosion or done
collapse, particularly in
environment where heavy
rainfall is common.
LAHARS

• lahar is Japanese word for

a type of volcanic mud
flow made up of volcanic
debris and hot or cold
water.
TSUNAMI

• Tsunamis means harbor

wave' from Japanese word.
It can form in relation to a
wide range of geological
activities less common ,
volcanoes can also cause
tsunamis.
