Volcanic ash consists of
fragments of rock,
mineral crystals, and
volcanic gl****,
produced during volcanic eruptions and
measuring less than 2 mm (0.079 inches)...
- a type of rock made of
volcanic ash ejected from a vent
during a
volcanic eruption.
Following ejection and deposition, the
ash is
lithified into a solid...

Several types of
volcanic eruptions—during
which material is
expelled from a
volcanic vent or fissure—have been
distinguished by volcanologists. These...
- colliding,
fragmenting particles of
volcanic ash (and
sometimes ice),
which generate static electricity within the
volcanic plume,

Plumes of
volcanic ash near
active volcanoes are a

especially for
night flights.
Volcanic ash is hard and abrasive, and can quickly...
- is a
geochronological technique that uses
discrete layers of tephra—
volcanic ash from a
