Tephra refers to the solid material ejected from a volcanic eruption, including a variety of particle sizes such as ash, pumice, and volcanic rock fragments. This material can be expelled during explosive eruptions and can be dispersed over large distances by wind, affecting the environment and human activities far from the eruption site. The analysis of tephra layers in geological records provides valuable information about past volcanic activity and its impacts on climate and ecosystems.
