tuff
Tuff is a specialized geological term used to describe rocks created from the accumulation of volcanic ash. It carries a clinical, scientific connotation and is almost exclusively found in academic papers, geological surveys, or textbooks rather than in general conversation.
Because it refers to a specific material substance in a geological sense, it is treated as a mass noun. It describes the composition of a landscape or a strata layer rather than individual objects, meaning it does not typically take a plural form in standard scientific descriptions.
