Answer: sediments

Explanation: Weathering of volcanic ash and pumice is unique regarding minerals formed and mineral formation. These minerals include allophane, imogolite, opaline silica, and some halloysites, and have distinctive structures and properties. Mar 10, 1987

Erosion and weathering transform boulders and even mountains into sediments, such as sand or mud. A dissolution is a form of weathering—chemical weathering. With this process, water that is slightly acidic slowly wears away the stone. These three processes create the raw materials for new, sedimentary rocks.
