DAMAGE FROM PYROCLASTIC FLOWS |
| Caption: |
Three large pyroclastic flows came down the Mitzunashi River valley into urban areas on the slopes of Mt. Unzen in 1991. Here a flow overtopped a channel constructed to contain volcanic mudflows and destroyed many homes and buildings on both sides of the channel. (© Michael S. Yamashita/CORBIS. All Rights Reserved.) |
