Relating the physical properties of volcanic rocks to the characteristics of ash generated by experimental abrasion
Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research(2018)
摘要
Interactions between clasts in pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) generate volcanic ash that can be dispersed to the atmosphere in co-PDC plumes, and due to its small size, is far-travelled. We designed a series of experiments to determine the effects of pyroclast vesicularity and crystal content on the efficiency and type of ash generated by abrasion. Two different pyroclastic materials were used: (1) basaltic-andesite pyroclasts from Fuego volcano (Guatemala) with ~26–46% vesicularity and high groundmass crystallinity and (2) tephri-phonolite Avellino pumice (Vesuvius, Italy) with ~55–75% vesicularity and low groundmass crystallinity.
