I've spent the morning viewing clips of lahar on a site below someone posted above, I think; if not, someone posted the link somewhere in a thread related to lahar.

To the point, I searched out some pyroclastic terms that may be of interest to those interested in volcanoes. Many that I found I'll omit in deference to those who won't want an unusually long post:

pyroclast-- Volcanology. an individual particle or fragment of clastic rock material of any size that is formed by volcanic explosion or ejected from a volcanic vent.

pyroclastic ground surge Volcanology. the comparatively thin layer of rock of varying thickness found around a volcanic vent.

pyrogenesis Geology. 1. the intrusion and extrusion of a magma. 2. the products derived from a magma.the products derived from a magma.

pyroschist Petrology. a schist or shale with sufficient carbon to burn with a bright flame or to yield volatile hydrocarbons upon heating.

...now if I could just relocate the site that had the eerie photographs of pillow lava...

Oh, and here's the site that has the footage of lahar in action:
