When ash and dust settle on the ground, they are eventually compacted by natural processes such as wind, water, and pressure from overlying materials. Over time, this compaction can lead to the formation of sedimentary rocks.
Sediments settle in layers at the bottom of bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. Over time, as more sediments accumulate, they become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
Sedimentary rock forms from materials like sediment, minerals, and organic matter that settle and accumulate over time. These materials are compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks such as sandstone, shale, and limestone.
A mixture with particles that settle on their own is called a suspension. Suspensions contain larger particles that are insoluble in the solvent and will eventually settle to the bottom due to gravity. Examples include sand in water and chalk in water.
The process described is known as sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when rocks or particles settle out of a fluid (like water or air) and accumulate in a new location, typically due to gravity or the slowing of the fluid's movement. Over time, these accumulated sediments can become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rocks.
Eroded rock can either be transported by water or wind to new locations, where it may settle and form new sedimentary rock layers. Alternatively, eroded rock can be broken down further into smaller particles and eventually become part of the soil composition.

When ash and dust settle on the ground, they can become compacted by natural processes such as wind, rain, and the weight of additional layers of sediment accumulating on top of them. Over time, these forces can squeeze the ash and dust particles together, forming a more solid layer.
pressure from the weight of additional layers of ash and dust, as well as from natural forces such as wind and water. Over time, this compaction can lead to the formation of sedimentary rock.
Sediments settle in layers at the bottom of bodies of water, such as lakes, rivers, and oceans. Over time, as more sediments accumulate, they become compacted and cemented together to form sedimentary rock.
Shale is formed from the compaction and cementation of fine-grained silt and clay particles. These particles are typically compacted in low energy environments such as deep ocean basins or lake bottoms, where they settle slowly over time and become lithified into shale.

when they erupt, the ashes that comes out, will be dispersed by the wind and eventually settle on the ground near it. this will make the soil fertile and good for farming.
They accumulate and gather up into thick layers, which with time get compacted and lithified to form sedimentary rock.

The process that accounts for the formation of horizontally layered rocks is called sedimentation. Sedimentation occurs when sediments, such as sand, silt, and clay, are carried by water, wind, or ice and eventually settle in layers. Over time, these layers of sediment can become compacted and cemented together to form solid rock layers.
Eventually, yes.
