what are the main hazards associated with basaltic lava eruptions
Abstract. By virtue of their extreme heat, and their ability to surround and bury, as well as to force structural failure, lava flows present an extreme hazard to communities in their path.Here the focus is on hazards associated with the ingress of basaltic lava into vulnerable areas.bstract.
