Les tufs pyroclastiques résultent de l'écoulement de fragments pyroclastiques, liquéfiés par l'eau ou par des gaz volcaniques, qui finissent souvent par constituer d'épaisses accumulations dans les vallées et les dépressions. Les matières pyroclastiques formées de cette façon peuvent être composées de «lave vive» solidifiée, de fragments de «lave inerte» issue d'éruptions antérieures, de fragments pyroclastiques également d'éruptions antérieures ou de fragments de roches arrachés aux parois du substrat lorsque les fluides volcaniques montent à la surface. 3, record 1, French, - tuf%20pyroclastique
