When molten rock (lava) flows from a volcano, it covers the surrounding area in a layer of solidified rock. During the eruption, ash can also be thrown up high into the sky by the volcano, and blown by the wind, could settle in a thick, smothering layer. The city of Pompeii suffered from being smothered by volcanic ash.

An active volcano can erupt to allow molten lava to flow down the sides and to cover surrounding areas. During the eruptions, gases and ash can be thrown high into the air. This ash can form a layer over the lava. Every time lava flows and ashes settle, they form layers.
