Volcanic ash, a fine-grained material from volcanic eruptions, is formed by rapid gas expansion in magma and water-magma interactions. Its properties, like particle morphology and chemical composition, vary with the eruption type and magma. Ash dispersal affects health, aviation, and infrastructure, necessitating hazard preparedness.
