No. While volcanic ash can have a basaltic composition, it usually does not. Basalt forms from lava. Volcanic ash forms tuff.
Tephra consists of volcanic ash, cinders, and volcanic bombs. Tephra is ejected during explosive volcanic eruptions and can vary in size from tiny ash particles to large volcanic bombs.
Volcanic ash has occasionally formed molds of animals. This occurs when the ash covers the animal and -
Volcanic tuff is a type of rock composed of volcanic ash and other volcanic debris that has been compressed and cemented together over time. It is typically formed during explosive volcanic eruptions and can vary in color and texture depending on the composition of the volcanic materials involved.
A volcanic mountain made up of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs is called a Cinder Cone Volcano.
Volcanic gases and ash are two examples of secondary pollutant
Tephor is a type of volcanic ash. Tephor is a type of volcanic ash.

Volcanic ash can cause lung problems from breathing the ash in.
The scientific term for a volcanic ash cloud is "volcanic ash plume" or "volcanic ash cloud." When a volcano erupts, it releases ash, gases, and other volcanic material into the atmosphere, creating a plume that can pose hazards to aircraft, human health, and the environment.
Yes. Volcanic ash falls into the air pollutant category of particulate matter. It can cause respiratory and eye symptoms during and after ash fall. The ash contains the minerals quartz, cristobalite, or tridymite. These are free crystalline silica which may cause silicosis which is a disabling and potential fatal lung disease. The recommended respirable exposure limit of 50 ug/m3 of particulate in air can be exceeded for short periods of time.
Volcanic particles about the size of rice grains are called volcanic ash. Ash is made up of small rock and mineral fragments that are expelled during a volcanic eruption.
Volcanic ash releases a lot of things, one such thing is Sulfur.
