VEI 0 (Non-explosive) VEI 1 (Gentle) VEI 2 (Explosive) VEI 3 (Severe) VEI 4 (Cataclysmic) VEI 5 (Paroxysmal) VEI 6 (Collosal) VEI 7 (Ultra-Plinian) VEI 8 (Mega-Collosal

Volcanic explosivity index scale

Discover the power of volcanic eruptions with this interactive spin wheel! The Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) classifies eruptions from non-explosive to mega-colossal based on the volume of erupted materials and eruption column height. Each slice on the wheel represents a different VEI level, ranging from VEI 0 (Non-explosive) to VEI 8 (Mega-Colossal). For example, the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens was a VEI 5 (Paroxysmal), while the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora was a VEI 7 (Ultra-Plinian).
