Tephra refers to any airborne particles from a volcanic eruption, and includes pumice, cinders, dust, and ash. Ash refers to particles smaller than 2 mm, and volcanic dust particles are less than 0.06 mm in diameter. Volcanic blocks, also known as bombs, are the largest pieces of tephra and are more than 64 mm in diameter (Baseball size or larger) and may be as large as small cars.
