Which phenomenon results when high viscosity felsic lava blocks a volcano's vent?

💡 Explanation

Pyroclastic flows are created by vent blockage because pressure from built-up gases and magma causes explosive eruption, a process is called Vulcanian eruption; therefore, a pyroclastic flow erupts, rather than steady lava flow.
