Tuff forms by layers of volcanic debris being put under pressure and coming together. Sometimes other materials get into the mix and form other kinds of tuff.

Can welded and cemented tuff result from same volcano?

Yes, welded tuff and cemented tuff can result from the same volcano. Welded tuff forms when volcanic ash and debris are ejected at high temperatures and fuse together upon landing, forming a welded rock. Cemented tuff forms when loose volcanic ash and debris accumulate and are later compacted and cemented together. Both processes can occur in the same volcanic eruption, resulting in different types of tuff.

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.
