Lava can turn into ash when it erupts explosively, fragmenting the molten rock into fine particles due to rapid gas expansion and pressure release. As the lava is expelled violently, it cools quickly in the atmosphere, solidifying into ash particles. This process is often associated with high-viscosity magma, which traps gases that build up pressure until they are released explosively. The resulting ash can be dispersed over large areas by wind during and after the eruption.
Lava, ash, and gases are common things that come out of a volcano after an eruption. Lava is molten rock that flows out, ash is small particles of rock and glass, and gases like sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere.
Volcanoes with high levels of water in their lava produce ash, those with dry lava produce no ash.
No. Lava hardens into rock.
Pompeii was covered in ash during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The ash preserved structures and artifacts, giving us valuable insights into ancient Roman life. Lava flows did not reach Pompeii during this eruption.

Lava is a hot liquid from the inside of the earth and ash is a lava powder, which is very hot.

Probably an ash dragon. Think about it: lava + flower = ash.

Ash
Yes. When a volcano erupts, the top of it blows off. The lava spits out the top and it travels down the side. When the lava hits the ground, over the years it turns to ash and mabe 10 years later, it turns into a black, powdery dirt.

A mountain formed by the build up of lava and ash is a composite volcanic cone.
