What Bits of rock or solidified lava dropped from the air?
When a volcano erupts, it sends out bits of rock, lava (solidified magma) and ash into the air. Then, gravity pulls the debris towards the ground so the debris drop, or fall, from the air.
How are volcanic bombs formed?
Volcanic bombs are formed when molten lava is ejected into the air during a volcanic eruption. The lava cools and solidifies as it flies through the air, taking on a rounded or elongated shape due to the aerodynamic forces acting on it. Upon landing, volcanic bombs can be hot or cold, depending on their composition and how far they have traveled from the vent.
Does volcanic ash burn?
Volcanic ash itself does not burn because it is made up of tiny particles of rock and glass that have been ejected from a volcano during an eruption. However, volcanic ash can contribute to fires when it accumulates on vegetation and is ignited by other sources such as lava flows or lightning strikes.
What color is a composite volcano?
A composite volcano is a cone-shaped volcano made up of alternating layers of lava fragments and rock particles. Sources: vocabulary sheet my science teacher gave me.
What is a spider solid liquid or gas?
A spider is an "arachnid". It has solid bits, liquid bits and contains gaseous bits.

Why the ash from a volcanic eruption can be hazardous?
The pyroclastic material and bits of rock can get into your lungs and cut up your lungs.
Which describes bits of material that fall to earth after an eruption?
Tephra is the term used to describe bits of material, such as ash, rocks, and other debris, that fall to the Earth after a volcanic eruption. Tephra can vary in size and composition depending on the nature of the eruption.

What are pebble like bits of magma that harden before they hit the ground?
Pebble-sized bits of volcanic rock are called lapilli.
What is a volcanic bomb and what causes it?
It is simply the name for a piece of molten rock (larger than 2.5 inches) thrown out of a volcano during an eruption. Despite the name, they generally do not explode (ignore movie special effects) but can be a hazard- large bits of VERY hot rock falling out of the sky.
What kind of debris was spewed into the air by the Eyjafjallajökull Volcano in Iceland on April 14 2010?
Volcanic ash is the material that is spewed by a volcano. It consists mostly of dust composed of very small bits of obsidian, pumice and solidified magma. The relatively sharp edges are the biggest danger to animals, as they can cause damage to the lungs when inhaled or to the eyes.
