How is volcanic ash made?

Particle size: The larger a particle of volcanic ash is, the closer it will fall to the volcano.Likewise, the smaller the particle, the farther winds will carry it. Wind speed and direction: Airborne clouds of ash will travel in whatever direction the winds carry them and at whatever speed the wind travels.A strong, constant wind will carry volcanic ash away in a relatively straight line.
