The volcanic explosivity index (VEI) is a scale used to measure the size of explosive volcanic eruptions. ... Examples 0 < 10 4 m 3: Hawaiian: Effusive < 100 m: constant:
Volcanic eruptions that rated 6 on the volcanic explosivity index.Such eruptions release a tephra volume of at least 10 km 3 (2.4 cu mi) with profound long-term effects on the surrounding area and noticeable short-term effects on global climate.
Supervolcano – Volcano that has had an eruption with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 8; Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt – Active volcanic belt that covers central-southern Mexico; Volcanic arc – Chain of volcanoes formed above a subducting plate; Volcanic explosivity index – Predictive Qualitative scale for explosiveness of volcanic ...
Volcanoes by their volcanic explosivity index (VEI). Subcategories. This category has the following 7 subcategories, out of 7 total. V. VEI-2 volcanoes (11 P)
In a volcanic eruption, lava, volcanic bombs, ash, and various gases are expelled from a volcanic vent and fissure. While many eruptions only pose dangers to the immediately surrounding area, Earth's largest eruptions can have a major regional or even global impact, with some affecting the climate and contributing to mass extinctions.

Satellite images of the 15 January 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga-Hunga Haʻapai. This is a list of volcanoes that have had large explosive eruptions during the Holocene (since about 11,650 years Before Present), with a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) of 5 or higher, or a plume height of at least 30 km.
[88] [89] As a result of the landslide, the height of the volcano was reduced from 338 meters to 110 meters. [90] 3 Ambae [91] Vanuatu 2018 During a series of eruptions, volcanic ash blackened the sky, buried crops and destroyed homes. Over the course of the year, the island's 11,000 population was forced to evacuate several times. [92] 3 Mount ...
