When a volcano erupts can it block the sun?
Yes. Large explosive volcanic eruptions can produce enormouys ash clouds that can turn day as dark as night in areas around the volcano. Ash and gas from such eruptions can filter out enough sunlight to reuduce global temperatures.
What type of lava flow does Yellowstone volcano have?
Yellowstone has produced both basaltic and rhyolitic lava flows. It is better known for its ecplosive eruptions, which produce large ash clouds and pyroclastic flows rather than lava flows.
Why does volcanic ash looks like snow?
It depends on the kind of eruption. In a Hawaiian type eruption parts of the volcano are covered in red hot lava flows and there may be a fountain spewing lava hundreds of feet into the air. In a Strombolian eruption explosions create a firework-like display of airborne lava, which may form lava flows. Some ash may rise from the fountain of lava. In a Vulcanian eruption the volcano produces clouds of ash and sends blocks of rock and globs of lava out at high speeds. In a Pelean eruption the volcano is covered in large clouds of ash. In a Plinian eruption the volcano sends a vertical column of ash miles into the sky to spread out at high altitude. The volcano itself may be covered in clouds of ash.
What is a cloud of ash from a volcano?
When a volcano erupts explosively some of the molten rock may come out in a sort of spray. This cools to form tiny particles of glass called volcanic ash. This ash can be carried into the air by hot volcanic gas, forming billowing or swirling clouds.

Do volcano produced large amounts of ash?
Volcanoes vary in their production of ash, but all of them while erupted produce huge ash clouds, often bigger than themselves! In fact, the volcanic eruption in Pompeii had so much ash, that it preserved the bodies and one can still go see them today.
What type of volcano is made from alternating layers of lava and ash?
The composite volcano.
Ash cinder and bombs form what type of volcano?
cinder cone volcano
What is ash clouds?
An ash cloud is where the volcano erupts ash out and it forms like a cloud, but it's of ash. Mt st Helen's had the biggest ash cloud and it was so strong it blew part of the mountain off
What type of volcano is composed of ash and rock?
A a stratovolcano.
