cinder-cone volcano
Volcanic ash forms when rock or liquid magma is reduced to tiny fragments by an explosive eruption.
Volcanic ash forms when magma is explosively ejected from a volcano. The explosive force of expanding gasses in the magma blasts it apart into small particles, which then solidify to form tiny shards of glass.
Lava and ash are two things that can be expelled from a volcano during an eruption. Lava is molten rock that flows out of the volcano, while ash consists of tiny rock particles and glass fragments that can be carried by the wind.
An underwater volcano. The volcano that made Hawaii was a shield volcano.
Volcano , (volcanic vent).
A cinder cone volcano is mainly composed of solid fragments. These solid fragments are known as tephra (TEHfruh) and include fragments of volcanic rock or lava. These fragments range in size from tiny particles to huge boulders.

A cinder cone volcano is built almost entirely from ejected lava fragments. These fragments can range in size from ash to bombs and are ejected during explosive eruptions. Over time, these layers of eruptive material accumulate to form a steep-sided cone-shaped volcano.
The type of volcano that is built entirely of ejected lava fragments is a volcanic cone. Volcanic cones can be of varying types, and it depends upon the nature, and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption.
Igneous Rock
Tiny fragments can travel all the way around the earth from a 1-pound explosion.
Glassy volcanic fragments with many trapped air bubbles.
These materials are called pyroclastic materials. They are produced during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma is fragmented into rock fragments and ash by the force of the explosion. Pyroclastic materials can vary in size from tiny particles of ash to large blocks and boulders.
