Solar Energy
Volcanic rock made up of rock and mineral fragments in volcanic ash matrix. Tuffs commonly are composed of much shattered volcanic rock glass—chilled magma blown into the air and then deposited. If volcanic particles fall to the ground at a very high temperature, they may fuse together, forming a welded tuff.
