tephra

A collective term for all clastic volcanic materials that are ejected from a vent during an eruption and transported through the air, including ash (volcanic), blocks (volcanic), cinders, lapilli, scoria, and pumice. Tephra is a general term which, unlike many volcaniclastic terms, does not denote properties of composition, visicularity, or grain size.
