Volcanology

gravitational collapse of an eruption column that is too dense to rise buoyantly, generating pyroclastic density currents.

In volcanology, eruption column collapse refers to gravitational collapse of an eruption column that is too dense to rise buoyantly, generating pyroclastic density currents. This meaning comes from Sparks (1976) in Journal of the Geological Society.[1]
