cognate or accessory particles – older volcanic rocks from the same volcano accidental particles – derived from the rocks under the volcano These particles may vary in size; tephra can range from ash (< 1 / 10 inch [0.25 cm]) or lapilli (little stones from 1 / 10 to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches or 0.25 to 6.35 centimetres) to volcanic bombs (>2.5 ...

A volcanic hazard is the probability a volcanic eruption or related geophysical event will occur in a given geographic area and within a specified window of time. The risk that can be associated with a volcanic hazard depends on the proximity and vulnerability of an asset or a population of people near to where a volcanic event might occur.
First: volcanic arc, volcanic belt and volcanic zone. Second: volcanic area, caldera cluster and caldera complex. Third: volcanic field, volcanic system and volcanic center. A volcanic field is a localized area of the Earth's crust that is prone to localized volcanic activity.
Pyroclastic rocks are often the result of volcanic debris, such as ash, bombs and tephra, and other volcanic ejecta. Examples of pyroclastic rocks are tuff and ignimbrite. [citation needed] Shallow intrusions, which possess structure similar to volcanic rather than plutonic rocks, are also considered to be volcanic, shading into subvolcanic.
A volcanic eruption is one of the most powerful forces in nature, a seemingly unstoppable phenomenon that can have far-reaching impacts far beyond the area surrounding the volcano itself. When a ...
