Lithified ash (or ash mixed with pyroclastic fragments) forms a volcaniclastic rock called a Tuff.
- A form of rock called tuff is created when volcanic ash is blasted from a vent during an eruption.
- The ash is transformed into a rock after ejection and deposition. Tuff is defined as rock with an ash content of more than 75%, whereas tuffaceous refers to rock with an ash content of 25% to 75%.
- The thickness of tuff often decreases with distance from the volcano and is usually greatest close to the volcanic vent. The typical shape of a tuff deposit is that of a "lens," not a "layer."
- Tuff may also be thickest on the vent's side that faces away from the wind or on the side facing the direction of the blast.

Answer:
The Simplest of Eukaryotic Cells. Microsporidia are intracellular parasites that infect most other eukaryotic cells, although arthropods are the most commonly parasitized. They are the simplest and smallest eukaryotic cells and thus represent a textbook example of reductive evolution [1].

In the winter, cold, dry air masses tend to dominate the central and eastern United States as cold winds blow from the northwestern Canadian prairies. In summer, the warm southern winds blow moist, hot air into the eastern and central US, leading to days of high humidity and sultry conditions. In spring and fall, moving low and high pressure areas pull alternating warm and cold air masses across a given area, leading to a lot of variability in day-to-day weather.
