volcanic ash
Airborne magma fragments
Volcanic ash consists of tiny fragments of rock, minerals, and volcanic glass ejected during an eruption.
Unlike wood ash, it's hard and abrasive, capable of damaging machinery and aircraft engines.
Heavy ashfall can collapse roofs, contaminate water supplies, and disrupt agriculture for miles around a volcano: The city was buried under volcanic ash.
