Pembuatan klasifikasi batuan piroklastik sudah banyak dibuat oleh para ahli,
tetapi masih terjadi kekurangan maupun perbedaan tentang batuan piroklastik.
Klasifikasi berdasarkan perkembangan terbentuknya batuan piroklastik sangat
sulit, sedangkan saat ini klasifikasi didasarkan pada:

Schmid, 1981).
