Hunga Tonga–Hunga Haʻapai erupted over a span of 12 hours, releasing 1.9 km 3 (0.46 cu mi) of ejecta with an estimated mass of 2,900 teragrams. Although the eruption energy was soon estimated from the acoustic waves and the ash cloud, its ranking on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) is still debated. [62]

For larger volcanoes that have erupted at least 1,000 km 3 (240 cu mi) of tephra at a time, see Category:VEI-8 volcanoes or Category:Supervolcanoes. The only unambiguous VEI-7 eruption to have been directly observed in recorded history was Mount Tambora in 1815 and caused the Year Without a Summer in 1816.

Tsunamis have been triggered by a number of volcanic eruptions, including the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, and the 2022 Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai eruption. Over 20% of all fatalities caused by volcanism during the past 250 years are estimated to have been caused by volcanogenic tsunamis. [48]

The eruptions began with a 6 km (4 mi)-long fissure-based "curtain of fire" on 3 January 1983. These gave way to centralized eruptions on the site of Kilauea's east rift, eventually building up the cone.
