Near active stratovolcanoes, which consequence results when pyroclastic flows encounter a large body of water?

💡 Explanation

Formation of a surge cloud above the water occurs because rapid cooling causes phreatomagmatic explosions via heat transfer, therefore intense steam and ash create a lateral surge rather than a purely vertical eruption.
