Sudden covering of an organism with volcanic ash sediment will help preserve the organism from some normal decay mechanisms. Additionally, hard plant and bone may be replaced by silica from the ash over time, making the fossil resistant to erosion upon exposure at the surface. The Petrified Forest in Arizona would be an example of this process.

How much ash is too much in cat food?
ASH 'the incombustible inorganic residue remaining after incineration; generally the mineral content of the food' * Contrary to popular belief ash in pet food has not been collected from a fire place and added for bulk! In pet food the constituents are broken down into several components: Moisture, protein, fat, and sometimes fibre and carbohydrates (often found in lower quality foods). Anything that does not come into one of these categories is called by the general term 'ash'. Therefore ash contains minerals and vitamins and is essential for your pet's health. It is called ash because when the food is burned (to determine its analysis) carbohydrate, fibre, fat and protein are all incinerated. Ash is the part of the food that remains after incineration. Too much ash harms cats. the amount of ash must be documented on all cat food. cats with kidney disease or past UTI should not have diets with ash.

How does volcanic ash affect global warming?
Volcanoes can cause a slight warming effect because of their carbon dioxide emissions, and a somewhat greater, but short-term, cooling effect due to particulate emissions. Apart from the short-term cooling effect, volcanoes are not considered to have a significant effect on temperatures, compared to the effect from human activities.
What is specific health problem that volcanic ash can cause?
