===Volcanic bombs=== {{main|Volcanic bomb}} [[Volcanic bomb]]s are masses of unconsolidated rock and lava that are ejected during an eruption. Volcanic bombs are classified as larger than 64mm (2.5 inches). Anything from 2 to 64mm is classified as [[lapilli]].<ref name=":03">{{Cite web|title=Volcanic Bombs: Overview|url=https://www.sandatlas.org/volcanic-bomb/|access-date=24 October 2024|website=sandatlas.org}}</ref> When erupted, volcanic bombs are still molten and partially cool and solidify on their descent. They can form ribbon or oval shapes that can also flatten on impact with the ground.<ref>{{Cite web|title=Bomb {{!}} Explosive Eruption, Pyroclastic Flow, Ash Cloud {{!}} Britannica|url=https://www.britannica.com/science/bomb-volcanic-ejecta|access-date=24 October 2024|website=Encyclopædia Britannica}}</ref> Volcanic bombs are associated with [[Strombolian eruption|Strombolian]] and [[Vulcanian eruption|Vulcanian]] eruptions and [[basaltic lava]]. Ejection velocities ranging from 200 to 400 m/s have been recorded causing volcanic bombs to be destructive.<ref name=":03" />
