In volcanology, a pyroclastic shield or ignimbrite shield is an uncommon type of shield volcano. Unlike most shield volcanoes, pyroclastic shields are formed mostly of pyroclastic and highly explosive eruptions rather than relatively fluid basalticlava issuing from vents or fissures on the surface of the volcano.
They typically display low-angle flank slopes and often have a central caldera caused by large eruptions. Lava is commonly extruded after explosive activity has ended. The paucity of associated Plinian fall deposits indicates that pyroclastic shields are characterized by low Plinian columns.
The Highly Explosive Shield Volcanoes; Pyroclastic Shields
Within Africa is a shield volcano that is slightly larger than the U.S. state of Rhode Island. Yet, it does not erupt effusively but primarily explosively. The Emi Koussi volcano is no ordinary shield volcano but rather a pyroclastic shield volcano. Pyroclastic shields are a fairly rare variety of shield volcano found at assorted locations around the planet. #short #shorts #volcano #volcanoes

Pyroclastic flows: The secret of their deadly speed
When a volcano erupts, pyroclastic flows are often the biggest danger to anyone nearby. These fast-flowing currents of rock, ash and extremely hot gas are extremely difficult to study, so researchers in New Zealand created their own. By closely studying pyroclastic flows in their specially-made lab, they identified a very thin layer of gas that helps explain how this volcanic phenomenon moves so fast and can travel so far.
