Volcanic Explosive Index

from GEO Podcast Hosted by Gary Lewis, GEOetc.com

In this episode, I talk about the Volcanic Explosive Index (VEI) and how that logarithmic scale is used to rate eruptions. It is based on the amount of material ejected, the size of the eruption plume and the length of the eruption.
