Which mechanism controls tephra dispersal during explosive eruptions?

💡 Explanation

Magmatic volatile content dictates eruption explosivity; therefore, buoyancy flux controls tephra dispersal, because gas expansion propels ash high into the atmosphere, rather than lava flow properties influencing airborne particles.
