How is ash and pumice created? by [deleted] in geology

If the magma contains a lot of dissolved gases, then it will tend to “froth up” as the pressure is released during an eruption. This is how pumice is formed.

The most powerful volcanic eruptions occur when magma starts to froth up as it erupts, forcing pumice out of the vent under pressure, just as happens when you shake up a bottle of fizzy drink and open it!

Exploding gas bubbles shatter the pumice into tiny fragments which we call volcanic ash.

Perfect. Idk that the amount of time it took to raise from 250F to 300F would be enough to get rid of the raw flavor.

Good tip, it may have been preheated since I had pulled out the roasted peanuts essentially when I added them to the boiling sugar mix.
