Pyroclastic Flows

Pyroclastic flows are a rare occurrence at Mount Adams, but it is possible for them to occur.

The greatest hazard at Mount Adams, in common with many large stratovolcanoes, is from landslides, debris avalanches, and lahars

The geological record of activity suggests that the most probable future eruptions would be small outbursts of tephra and lava flows from vents on the summit and upper flanks of the volcano rather than from the surrounding volcanic field.
