Pyroclastic Size Determined Below Ground?
July 31, 2012 | Georgia Institute of Technology

“Scientists widely believe that volcanic particle size is determined by the initial fragmentation process, when bubbly magma deep in a volcano changes into gas-particle flows. But new Georgia Tech research indicates a more dynamic process where the amount and size of volcanic ash actually depend on what happens afterward, as the particles race toward the surface.” Quoted from the Georgia Institute of Technology press release.
