What is volcanic ash good for?
Volcanic ash can create very fertile soil.
How is solidified volcanic ash called?
When volcanic ash compacts, it creates a rock called Tuff. Tuff is sometimes called tufa when used in construction materials.
Who built the moai?
The vast majority are carved from compressed volcanic ash called tuff, but basalt, red scoria and trachyte or feldspar were also used.
What basalt boulders mean?
Basalt is a very abundant volcanic rock. A basalt boulder is simply a large chunk of basalt rock.
What is volcanic tuft made from?
The correct spelling is volcanic tuff instead of volcanic tuft. Volcanic ash that has been ejected from vents during eruption makes volcanic tuff.

What is a palagonite?

Why is basalt heavier than?
pumice is volcanic ash and it is vesicular. meaning that it has lots of air bubbles in it making it even lighter. basalt is hardened lava. it was exposed and cooled rapidly.
What is the effect of volcanic ash?
it is so hot it can create fossils

Can volcanic ash create create landslides?
It can, assuming that enough builds up on a steep enough slope.
Most common volcanic rock?
The most abundant silicic volcanic rock is Basalt. This is a main hazardous and acidic effect of an explosive volcano. Please be careful when travelling to places with active volcano.
What are the materials in volcano?
volcano spews lava,volcanic gases(carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, carbon monoxide, hydro gas and methane), volcanic stones(basalt, granite),sulfur, vapor, volcanic ash and Sedimentary Rock.
