Use the scene: fine gray material blankets cars and roofs while a plume darkens the sky downwind. Which hazard is shown?
Use the scene: a dense gray cloud of hot ash, gas, and rock fragments races down a volcano flank. Which hazard is shown?
Use the scene: a muddy flood carrying boulders and logs rushes down a valley from a snow-covered volcano. Which hazard is shown?
Use the scene: glowing molten rock pours from a vent and crosses a road, setting vegetation on fire. Which hazard is shown?
Use the scene: a pale gas plume drifts from a crater into a low valley where people are downwind. Which hazard is shown?
Use the scene: part of a steep volcano flank has broken loose and is sliding as a chaotic mass of rock. Which hazard is shown?
Use the scene: glowing blocks arc from a crater and land near the vent during an explosive burst. Which hazard is shown?
