How do volcanic bombs originate?
A) as ash particles that join together in the eruptive plume and fall as cobble- sized objects
B) as blocks of old shattered volcanic rock ejected from an erupting volcanic crater
C) as high temperature residue violently expelled from the melting region, all the way up the volcanic conduit
D) as semi- molten magma blobs that get erupted, streamlined, and partly congeal before falling to the ground

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Volcanic bombs are formed from semi-molten magma blobs that are ejected during a volcanic eruption. These blobs are streamlined by air resistance as they travel through the air and start to solidify before hitting the ground, resulting in their characteristic shapes and textures.
