because the ash contains silicon and when silicon is heated at a height temperature it turns to glass. and as the engines are really hot they turn the silicon to glass. The glass gets into the engines and ruins them making them fail so the plane well....
drops outta the sky like a stone and gravity.

How does the volcanic ash stop the planes?
When volcanic ash enters a jet engine, it melts in the intense heat and re-solidifies inside the engine as glass. The glass then clogs the engine. Ash particles also scrath the cockpit windows, making it hard to see.
Does volcanic ash effect planes with propellers?
Yes the ash would build up and clog the air filters to the combustion chamber
How does volcanic ash effect the engines in a flying airplane?
The pieces of dust could clog up the tubes in the engine and stop it working. No engine, no flight. The aeroplane will just fall out of the sky.
Which volcano hazard can be dangerous to passing sir planes due to its fine, abrasive quality?
Volcano ash hazard can be dangerous.
What is the danger of ash to planes?
it sandblasts the plane with grit at 900km/h and more importantly it clogs the engines. the ash melts and deposits itself on the blades in the engine and causes them to stall
Why are air planes grounded from flying because of volcanic ash?
Anything that's in the air will also get into the Engines. And volcanic ash is like fine sand, it's abrasive. Getting that into an Engine can shorten its Life and even make it fail pretty much immediately. So since (jet) Engines can't be fitted with air filters, it's safer not to fly through volcanic ash Clouds.

Why do volcanoes effect planes?
After volcanoes erupt, a huge cloud of ash rises above it. This ash cloud causes problems for aeroplanes in mid flight.

Did Kilauea explode with a lot of ash or little ash?
Depending when, did you mean in 1995? that time, it went KABAM!!! and there was like ash flying EVERYWHERE. nobody got hurt...i think.
