What is atmospheric dust?
It is dust particles that have been blown by the wind, or by volcanic ejection, into the atmosphere.
What type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition?
The type of volcanic eruption depends on the amount of gases and the composition of magma. In addition to the composition of the magma, the volcanic eruption depends on the ration of sulfur, carbon dioxide, and water the magma contains.
Does volcanic ash create basalt?
No. While volcanic ash can have a basaltic composition, it usually does not. Basalt forms from lava. Volcanic ash forms tuff.
On the early earth volcanic activity had a major effect on the composition of the?

What are andesite rhyolite and trachyte all a type of?
They are all extrusive igneous (i.e. volcanic) rocks of intermediate to felsic composition.
Is volcanic glass a mineral?
Volcanic glass is not a mineral. It's composition is complex, and their is no crystalline structure.
How is volcanic glass different from a mineral?
Volcanic glass does not technically contain mineral crystals. The definition of a mineral requires a crystalline structure. Secondly, the chemical composition of volcanic glass could vary widely. Minerals have definite parameters for chemical composition.

What is the composition of many of the smaller islands in the Pacific?
Volcanic action

Does volcanic ash create basalt?
No. While volcanic ash can have a basaltic composition, it usually does not. Basalt forms from lava. Volcanic ash forms tuff.
Do volcanic bombs have a large amount of silica?
Not necessarily. Volcanic bombs may be formed from any composition of magma from basaltic to rhyolitic.
How does a volcanic eruption stop?
If its lava flow, the magma chamber will be emptied. In a mass ash ejection the underground heat and pressure on vaporized rock will be exhausted.

What is a eject?
Any material expelled during an eruption is volcanic ejection. This material is typically rock, debris, and ash from explosions, and lava and cinder rock from eruptions.
What about magma affects how explosive an eruption will be?
The composition of the magma affects how explosive a volcanic eruption will be.
