How do volcanoes effects earth climate?
Volcanic ash can block out the sun and cause temporary cold climates.
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 volcanic hazard is made up of rocky particles about the size of a grain of sand?

What effect does volcanic ash have on jet engine?
Volcanic ash effects jet engines by clogging-up the engine. The plane travels at such a speed even minute particles like volcanic ash can eventually fill-up the combustion chamber and since there is no moving parts in a jet engine it can't get out of the chamber. The massive heat in the chamber turns the volcanic ash to glass because its 80% silica which eventually stops everything in the engine (Basically).
Why are breathing masks important if you live near an active volcano?
Breathing masks are important if you live near an active volcano because volcanic ash can contain harmful particles like silica, which can cause respiratory problems when inhaled. Masks can help filter out these particles and protect your respiratory system. They are especially crucial during volcanic eruptions or periods of increased volcanic activity when ash concentrations are high in the air.
