Why has the volcano eruption in Guatemala been so much more deadly than the eruption in Hawaii? Volcano plumbing holds the answer. In Hawaii, most of the lava from Kilauea has oozed from side vents, spreading slowly enough that people can walk out of its path. But the two eruptions in Guatemala have been explosive, creating pyroclastic flows — fast-moving, searingly hot clouds of volcanic ash and gases — that have killed more than 100 people so far. . . . #volcano #guatemala #guatemalacity #guatemala🇬🇹 #fuego #hawaii #kiluea #kilueavolcano #bigisland #bigislandhawaii #volcanic #volcaniceruption #lava #lavaflow #pyroclasticflow #pyroclastic #aalava #sidevent #plumbing #theplumbinatorroundrock (at Guatemala)
