Ashfall is the common name given to the ash rocks and other debris that is ejected from a volcano during an eruption.
Tephra.. (not pumice - Pumice is the light stone which forms during an eruption)
The type of volcano that is built entirely of ejected lava fragments is a volcanic cone. Volcanic cones can be of varying types, and it depends upon the nature, and size of the fragments ejected during the eruption.
Lapilli--Lapilli is pyroclastics the size of walnuts.Cinders-- Cinders are a type of pyroclastic material the size of a pea. According to the text, Earth An Introduction to Physical Geology, Cinders come in different forms when "ejected lava blobs are pulverized by the escaping gases".Blocks-- Blocks are particles larger than Lapilli's and are formed by harden lava.Bombs-- Bombs too help to produce blocks, but they are ejected as lava. They take on an streamline shape. They usually tend to fall on the slopes of a cone volcano and they can be ejected far from the volcano due to the force of escaping gasesI answered this earlier but this is a better answer ;)
False. The largest fragments that erupt from a volcano are called volcanic bombs, not cinders. Volcanic bombs are typically larger than 64 mm in diameter and are formed when semi-molten lava is ejected during an explosive volcanic eruption.
Rock that is ejected from a volcano and cools is called volcanic rock or lava rock. This type of rock typically has a fine-grained texture due to rapid cooling.

These sorts of ejecta are sometimes called 'bombs'.

A vent in the Earth's crust from which lava and other materials are ejected is called a volcano.

They are called fragments, fragments.

Volcanic fragments are small pieces of rock that come from a volcano. Fragments are usually thrown in the air during a volcanic eruption.
These materials are called pyroclastic materials. They are produced during explosive volcanic eruptions when magma is fragmented into rock fragments and ash by the force of the explosion. Pyroclastic materials can vary in size from tiny particles of ash to large blocks and boulders.
When a volcano erupts, the earth is opened up to produce lava, which is magma that has reached the surface. Sometimes, there are materials, or fragments, that are ejected from the volcano by the force of the volcano erupting. These blobs of lava are called Pyroclastic material.
