The volcanic ash goes in the air because, they are air-borne materials/particles, and can easily and conviniently be carried and transported by wind, since they are light and not as dense as lava.

Why does ash from burning wood go up into the air?

The heat from the burning wood below causes the air to rise; the hot air has a density lower than the cold air and consequently a trend to rise. The fine ash has also a very low density; consequently can be carried by warm air rising in the atmosphere. So any of the ash that is released from the wood above the heat of the fire will rise until the air cools.


How do volcanoes affect air travel?

The ash that is out thrown from the eruption causes the air to be filled with the ash, and making it very difficult for people and animals to breath, and also blocks the sun. Depending on the force of the eruption, the ash could go into the atmosphere and go around the entire planet, having a global impact.


How far did the ash go up into the atmosphere from the eruption?

The ash from volcanic eruptions can reach altitudes of up to 20-30 kilometers into the atmosphere. The exact height can vary depending on the size and intensity of the eruption.


How can a volcanic eruption affect the sun?

A volcanic eruption here on Earth can not affect the Sun. However, a volcanic eruption here on Earth can put particles of ash and some volcanic gases into the atmosphere that affects the transparency of Earth's atmosphere to sunlight. With the ash content the skies near the volcano go dark during the day and with the gases (especially sulfur oxides) the amount of cloud cover increases causing sunlight to be reflected and the air to cool.

How do you get the flutes on Pokemon ruby?

Nest to Fallarbor Town is an area where volcanic ash falls. If you walk around in the grass while holding a Soot Sack (I'm fairly sure the man in the house on route 113, where all the ash is, gives it to you), then you'll collect ash from the ground. When you've collected enough, go see the man again, and he'll ask you what you want him to make. The different types of flutes are available for manufacture from him, as long as you have enough ash.
