Reference: Tephra classification Reference information: "Il prodotto di tali eruzioni viene denominato tephra. Questo termine include tutti i materiali lavici lanciati in aria e in parte solidificati come frammenti di varie dimensioni: blocchi (dimensioni superiori a 64 mm), lapilli (da 64 a 2 mm) e ceneri (inferiori a 2 mm). Questi frammenti, smistandosi nel tragitto aereo, formano depositi di aspetto stratificato in modo regolare. Quando prevalgono i blocchi, si parla di brecciole; quando prevalgono i lapilli si parla di tufi; quando prevalgono le ceneri si parla di cineriti."
