Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fragments of material erupted from a volcano that settle and lithify form a rock called tuff. Basalt and andesite are both types of volcanic rock, but they form from lava flows rather than from fragmented material. Hyaloclastite is a type of rock formed from fragmented lava that has interacted with water or ice.
