Pyroclastic flows on Mt Merapi Java Indonesia

[@razorren]

Amazing video! I am impressed. This is probably the first decent footage of Merapi I have seen on KZbin.

[@K00gr]

Its not enough to just talk about it in lessons and in essays. You need to see it to see the true scale of such an event. Now I truely understand why I love Geography. This is great footage and I hope you dont mind if I show this in my lessons! ;P

I thought the same thing ... dusty landslides ... but I think the clue is the night footage. Inside all that 'rolling dust' is actually tons of red-hot rock and blobs of magma. Notice how the landslides seem to boil and explode, often perpendicular to the slope or even opposite the direction of the fall? I'm guessing that's it, pyroclastic flows can be just blasts of boiling rock and magma which are so hot they kind of sustain themselves.

Look at 6:05 and you can see a human male face almost directly in middle of screen. This is if your holding your phone up right vertical. The clarity and detail of it is incredible

[@yallowrosa]

very clear, the night-view enables to understand the phenomenon

[@FireFytingNut]

EXCELLENT video!!! Thank you for sharing!

[@hertaaviyasa4792]

0:22 imagine how big that rock is

[@tfacontendvailed7019]

Residents near Merapi said that each stone that fell was different in size, some were the size of a truck and even Merapi threw volcanic rocks the size of an adult buffalo.

LOL how everyone is almost watching it like it's nothing important. Of course because it's so common there I guess. Hard to imagine as a person from the Netherlands, where everything is totally without vulcanos. :) And the halo around the sun at 2:55 is also very nice (has nothing to do with volcanism).

[@AankerStoneshield]

What you're actually seeing is a volcanic dome built up by very viscous (slow-flowing, 'sticky') lava, collapsing into avalanches of hot gasses and rocks. It's clearly visible at 4:58 and 5:25; along with how the flows are created as the dome collapses.

[@codexdelux]

@ximmise i dont think you appreciate the scale of those pyroclastic flows. Not counting that you would suffocate on the ash, and the large boulders that are caught in the flow. Pyroclastic flows can be upp to 1000 degrees centigrade and move at up to 700 km per hour. so yeah you can definently die from it, and unforunently if you get cught in one, it might take a few seconds of intense pain before you die:( its not pretty

[@transientdreams]

Can't they make molten lava that doesn't produce so much smoke and ash so we can see the lava flows better at night?

Amzing erupiton mt . Merapi 2010

[@K1w1scot]

Buy it. Pyroclastic flows come in many forms. This is most deffinately a pyroclastic flow. It's deffinately not ejecta. This is a dome collapse...one of the main sources of pyro flows.

@minskfalastine - Semantics, my dear. Dead is pretty much...well, dead.

[@K1w1scot]

Maybe the best way to show it is for you to look up the Mt Unzen dome collapse that killed Maurice and Katia Kraft back in 91. That was a spectacular dome collase, sadly fatal for about 40 odd people. Pyroclastic flows don't necessarily originate from a collapsing erruption column. Look at Mt St Helens 1980 for another example (though that was classed as a pyroclasti surge). Hope this helps.
