VOLCANIC EXPLOSIVITY INDEX 🌋 The Volcanic Explosivity Index, or VEI, is a scale that measures the size and intensity of volcanic eruptions. It was developed by Chris Newhall and Stephen Self in 1982 as a way to compare eruptions based on the volume of material ejected, the height of the eruption column, and other observable features. The scale ranges from 0 to 8. Each level represents a tenfold increase in eruption size. For example, a VEI 5 eruption is ten times more explosive than a VEI 4. He

Dr. Harini Bhat (PharmD) | Science Storyteller on Instagram: "Did you know that volcanology employs a scale much like the Richter scale for earthquakes? It is known as the Volcano Explosivity Index (VEI), which ranges from 1 (gentle) to 8 (apocalyptic). This rating system considers multiple factors, including the volume of ejected volcanic material, eruption height, and eruption duration. There are the top 4 largest volcanic eruptions in Earth’s existence from VEI 5 to VEI 8: 1. VEI 5 (CATACLYSM
