volcanic explosivity index

Volume of products, eruption cloud height, and qualitative observations (using terms ranging from "gentle" to "mega-colossal") are used to determine the explosivity value. The scale is open-ended with the largest volcanoes in history given magnitude 8. TheVolcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was devised byChris Newhall of theUS Geological Survey and Stephen Self at theUniversity of Hawaii in 1982 to provide a relative measure of the explosiveness ofvolcanic eruptions.
