Question 1 • SC332 Environmental Science B

The mixture of water and rubble that flows from the slope of a volcano is a _______.

Answer
A
pyroclastic flow
B
fumaroles
C
tephra
D
lahar

Explanation

A lahar is a fast-moving mixture of water and volcanic debris, such as ash, rocks, and rubble, that flows down a volcano’s slope. A pyroclastic flow is instead a hot, fast-moving current of gas and volcanic material, so “lahar” is the correct choice.
