Big explosion. Air gets really hot. Rises up as its less dense. Cool air from around rushes in to fill the void creating a storm. This pulls particles of ash and dust in the air and when the air cools down it stops rising so it spreads out. A straight channel from the center of the explosion and uo hight it spreads out, mushroom shaped cloud.
