Where do larger pieces of debrie fall during a volcanic eruption?
Closer to the volcano.
In a volcanic eruption where do larger pieces of debris fall?
Large pieces will fall close to the volcano, due to variable weight and pressure.
Large angular volcanic fragments are called?
Volcanic fragments are small pieces of rock that come from a volcano. Fragments are usually thrown in the air during a volcanic eruption.
Volcanic bomb is an?
Rocks ejected from a volcano are classed accorcing to size. Fragments less than a micron in diameter are volcanic dust. Volcanic ash are less than 2 mm diameter. Fragments between 2 and 64 mm diameter are called lapilli (Italian for little stones). A Volcanic bomb is Tiny particle of ejected rock less than 64 mm diameter.
What volcano is extinct?
Suppose you're at an extinct volcano with steep sides.The ground is mostly ash and small pieces of the rock.What type of volcano is this

Where do volcanic rocks form?
Volcano rocks come from the volcano itself because parts of the volcano might chip off inside so that will be small pieces of the volcano which are known by rocks or volcano rocks.
Is a shield volcano the same thing as a cinder cone volcano?
No. A shield volcano is a large volcano with broad, shallow slopes formed from layers of lava flows formed by non-explosive eruptions. A cinder cone volcano is a small, steep-sloped volcano composed of pieces of rock formed by lava that was ejected explosively into the air.

What are asteroid belts made of?
Pieces of rocks made of minerals similar to those that are formed the rocky planets and moons.
Rocks that are formed of pieces of other rocks plant and animal matter or dissolved minerals are called?
Sedimentary rock
What is volcanic ash?
Volcanic ash tends to contain a mixture of tiny, sharp pieces of rock and glass, made from liquid droplets volcano that have cooled quickly. It's abrasive and mildy acidic and is known as tephra. Volcanic ash is expelled with great force from a volcano during an eruption. When the ash falls, it is hot and deadly, and can ignite fires, and it can also be spread over a very wide area by winds.
Can volcanoes make diamonds?
No. Diamonds are formed deep within the Earth's mantle, under extreme high temperature and high pressure. They erupt to the Earth's surface by way of deep source volcanic eruptions,which leave behind plugs of solidified magma called volcanic pipes, which may contain pieces of minerals they gathered on their way up, including diamonds. These events are much rarer than ordinary volcanic eruptions, in fact we have yet to observe one in action.

How do porphyritic rocks form?
I believe that porphyritic andesite is formed from volcanic ash and bits and pieces of minerals that eventually become ejected from the volcano. How the andesite becomes porphyritic is that it formed inside the volcano before being blown out of along with the magma and hot gases. You can find silver and gold specs as well as a few other metals encased by a smooth texture of solidifyed ash. Lee Durst (WVC 08)
What type of rock is formed when layers of rock pieces are cemented together?
If the process of cementation is volcanic you get a "tuff". If the cementation post sedimentation of rock clasts you get a sedimentary rock which may be a breccia or a conglomerate.
