Volcanoes that have produced explosive VEI-6 eruptions. This means Volcanic Explosivity index. Such eruptions release a volume of at least 10 cubic kilometers with profound longterm effects on the surrounding area and noticeable shortterm effects on global climate.

The Volcanic Explosivity Index, or VEI, was proposed in 1982 as a way to describe the relative size or magnitude of explosive volcanic eruptions. It is a 0-to-8 index of increasing explosivity. Each increase in number represents an increase around a factor of ten.

VEI (Volcanic Explosivity Index) ... We consider an eruption to consist of the arrival of solid volcanic products at the Earth's surface. This can be in the form of either the explosive ejection of fragmental material or the effusion of initially liquid lava.

It first debuted in 1982 as a paper titled "The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI): An Estimate of Explosive Magnitude for Historical Volcanism," written by Christopher Newhall and Steve Self and published in the Journal of Geophysical Research.

The volcano explosivity index (VEI) is a scale used to measure the intensity of volcano eruptions. ... The VEI measures explosivity, volume of ash (tephra), and the height ash reaches into the atmosphere.

The volcanic explosivity index is a scale from 1 to 8 to measure the magnitude (erupted volume) and intensity ; (eruption column height) of an eruption. The VEI is not used to describe eruptions of lava which are non explosive.

The Volcanic Explosivity Index ... Icelandic Volcanoes are the least explosive volcanic eruptions, they range from VEI 0 to 1 and rarely eject ash and pyroclastics. Generally forming along a rift rather than a single tube, the Iclandic Volcanoes are responsible for flood basalts creating a volcanic plateau or a...
