Explanation:
-During the eruptions of Maui’s volcanoes, volcanic ash and other ejected materials, were deposited upon the volcanic slopes and adjacent areas.
The soils that developed from volcanic ash contain mostly amorphous materials and minerals, such as allophane, imogolite, and ferrihydride.
-Bedrock is the hard, solid rock beneath surface materials such as soil and gravel. Bedrock also underlies sand and other sediments on the ocean floor. Bedrock is consolidated rock, meaning it is solid and tightly bound. Overlying material is often unconsolidated rock, which is made up of loose particles.
Bedrock can extend hundreds of meters below the surface of the Earth, toward the base of Earth's crust
