What is Tuf?
Tuff is a type of rock that is formed from compacted volcanic ash and fragments of material associated with volcanic eruptions. There are a number of different types, while the rock is classified on the basis of what it contains, how large particles are built into the rock and how they were formed. Tuff has limited commercial use, although it was once used in building and statues in some regions because it was so easily accessible. When these materials settle and cool, they are formed in the range of rocks, including tuffs. This rock is commonly formed when volcanic magma is very stiff, allowing air bubbles and pockets to form and tend to be extremely porous and very soft; Depending on the prevailing conditions, several layers of material may have, reflecting more eruptions.Ehm, because the rocks are so hot. In this case, it is classified as a pyroclastic rock and is called "welded tuff". This type of rock is often very easily identifiable because it usually has a large pieceY material scattered with smaller, all welded together with ashes and other components.
Tuff can also be classified on the basis of composition of its fragments. Basalt, ultramaphic, rhyolite and Andesitic Tuff are some examples of different types. Many of these forms have small crystalline fragments that sometimes can cause the rock to spark or glitter. They are classified as sedimentary rocks because they are formed by deposition and sediment compression.
In the construction industry, this rock can be useful, especially for things such as walls, and numerous examples of tuff walls can be seen in places such as the Mediterranean, where there is abundant. Tuff was also historically used in sculpture. In areas where it is common, people must be cautious when they build houses and other structures, because Tuff is not always able to support great weight. During the earthquake, a collapse of a house built on a tuff field and cuttings in a unfortunatelyEznic embankments and along the roads are also subject to disintegration and damage.
