A further control on the morphology and characteristics of a deposit is the water to magma ratio. It is considered that the products of phreatomagmatic eruptions are fine grained and poorly sorted where the magma/water ratio is high, but when there is a lower magma/water ratio the deposits may be coarser and better sorted.

Hemirrhagus is a genus of Mexican tarantulas that was first described by Eugène Louis Simon in 1903. [3] It is considered a senior synonym of Spelopelma. [2] Species of the genus Hemirrhagus are 5 to 12 cm long, usually black in colour, the urticating hairs on the opisthosoma are arranged in one dorsomedian patch, two dorsal paramedian patches, or two lateral patches.
Theraphosa apophysis generally resembles Theraphosa blondi, and reaches a similar size. [3] Young T. apophysis spiders have pink shading at the end of each leg, which fades with each moult. [4]
