Ash Fall
Ash Fall refers to the phenomenon where volcanic ash is ejected into the atmosphere during an eruption and subsequently falls to the ground. This ash consists of tiny fragments of rock, minerals, and volcanic glass, which can vary in size and composition. The fallout can cover large areas, impacting air quality, agriculture, and infrastructure.
The effects of Ash Fall can be significant, leading to respiratory issues for humans and animals, damaging crops, and disrupting transportation. In severe cases, it can cause buildings to collapse under the weight of accumulated ash. Proper monitoring and preparedness are essential to mitigate these hazards.
