volcanic explosivity index — (VEI) a measure of the severity of a volcanic eruption. The VEI scale is from 0 to 8; an index value of v corresponds to an output of at least 103+v cubic meters of magma. The Mt. St. Helens eruption of 1980 was a 5 on this scale, and the… … Dictionary of units of measurement
Volcanic Explosivity Index — Der Vulkanexplosivitätsindex (Abkürzung VEI, engl. Volcanic Explosivity Index) ist eine logarithmische Skala von 0 bis 8 zur Angabe der Stärke eines Vulkanausbruchs, vergleichbar mit der Richterskala für Erdbeben. Messgrößen sind die Menge an… … Deutsch Wikipedia
Volcanic Explosivity Index — USGS PHOTO GLOSSARY OF VOLCANIC TERMS 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… … Glossary of volcanic terms
Volcanic Explosivity Index — The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) was devised by Chris Newhall of the U.S. Geological Survey and Steve Self at the University of Hawaiokinai in 1982 to provide a relative measure of the explosiveness of volcanic eruptions. Volume of products,… … Wikipedia
