Are there sometimes lava flows in a Peléan eruption?-- The High Fin Sperm Whale ( talk) 04:52, 25 June 2009 (UTC) reply

I think I found the answer. The lava is very thick and sticky, so any lava is blasted out as bombs or cinders. -- The High Fin Sperm Whale ( talk) 18:19, 19 October 2009 (UTC) reply

Not if it is a true Peléan eruption as all the magma is blasted to small fragments. Pyroclastic flows are a feature of this style of eruption and the cloud over the flow was named Nuee ardente by Alfred Lacroix when he witnessed eruptions of Mount Pelée in 1902.-- The Geologist ( talk) 12:43, 24 October 2013 (UTC) reply
