Simulate Another Eruption

You can simulate the impact of different types of flows by selecting the type of flow and the velocity on the control panel below and then pressing "Start." Experiment with the settings to see how the potential damage varies as a function of flow type and speed.

!! We are currently upgrading the interactive animations on this website. For now, simply view the video below to see the results of all of the control combinations.

In your field notebook, record the minimum velocity necessary to destroy a building using air, pyroclastic surge, and pyroclastic flow.
