What are large volcanic rock particles called?

Lapilli--Lapilli is pyroclastics the size of walnuts.Cinders-- Cinders are a type of pyroclastic material the size of a pea. According to the text, Earth An Introduction to Physical Geology, Cinders come in different forms when "ejected lava blobs are pulverized by the escaping gases".Blocks-- Blocks are particles larger than Lapilli's and are formed by harden lava.Bombs-- Bombs too help to produce blocks, but they are ejected as lava. They take on an streamline shape. They usually tend to fall on the slopes of a cone volcano and they can be ejected far from the volcano due to the force of escaping gasesI answered this earlier but this is a better answer ;)

What are the three status of a volcano and what do they mean?

The Volcano has a huge structure below it. The molten rock deep within it is called Magma. A subsidiary volcano may form from the main body, this is called a Parasitic cone. Some times some volcanic materials may seep out near the volcano, this opening is called Vent. The molten rock erupting from the Volcano is called Lava. The mouth of the volcano is called Crater. The highest point of a volcanic mountain is called Summit while the underground passage of magma is called Conduit. The Channel through which lava is ejected out is called the Throat. Ash or fragments of rocks and lava are what is blasted out forming Ash clouds due to the explosion
