How does a welded tuff differ from a cemented tuff?

Welded tuff is forms when the ash deposited is so hot that it is still partially molten. The still liquid component then cools, fusing the deposit into a single solid mass. Cemented tuff becomes bound together from processes similar to those that form ordinary sedimentary rocks. Grains are bound together under pressure as minerals dissolved in water crystallize.
