Description [edit]. Lahar is a Javanese word that describes volcanic mudflows or debris flows. Lahars have the consistency, viscosity and approximate density of wet concrete: fluid when moving, solid at rest.Lahars can be huge.ahars have several possible causes: 1  Snow and glaciers can be melted by lava or pyroclastic flows during an eruption. 2  Lava flows out of open vents and can mix with wet soil and mud on the slope of the volcano making a very viscous, high energy lahar. 3  A flood caused by a glacier, lake breakout, or heavy rainfall can release a lahar, also called ....
Flood Basalts. The great continental flood-basalt eruptions of the geological past are the largest eruptions of lava on Earth, with known volumes of individual lava flows exceeding 2000 cubic kilometres. For comparison, the ongoing eruption of Kilauea volcano on Hawaii has produced just 1.5 cubic kilometres in 16 years!
