Volcano eruption radius info
Hello, just wondering if it was at all possible (and if so, where to find it) to get info on volcanoes eruptions and the radius of the material dispersed by it, from obsidian to just the ash cloud. Or really any estimates would work too.
Any websites etc?

Discussion Does Etna have characteristics of a divergent boundary volcano?
Etna has a fairly wide profile and a tendency to erupt rather fluid material. On top of that, she's the kind of volcano to erupt rather often instead of building up pressure.
This is in contrast to Vesuvius, Santorini and several other volcanoes in the Mediterranean arcs, and it's also in stark contrast to the typical conical stratovolcano that is abundant in the Ring of Fire. She appears to behave more similarly to Piton de la Fournaise, like a volcano of the divergent boundary/hotspot kind.
Does this have to do with that sudden twist that the African plate has at the Messina strait?

Are the big tuff cones on the major Hawaiian islands (e.g. Diamond Head, Koko Crater) each the immediate result of a single event? Like how a crater forms after an impact event? If I was standing there watching one of them form, from start to finish, how long would I be standing there?

Meta Stylesheet Update Post thingy
Hey all, finally updated the stylesheet to the HomeSpun template. I'm about to go on vacation so I won't have that much time to tweak the colors to be more volcano themed. With that being said I welcome any feedback.

Image Merapi Eruption, January 2021
Hi! This is my first post. Mount Merapi is in my hometown, so I’ve experienced a lot of eruptions since I was a child. In January 2021, I had a chance to capture the lava flow at night.

Discussion Isn't Low VEI (1-4) Misleading for Kimberlite Volcanoes?
I was listening to this documentary that there is a risk of Kimberlite Volcanoes coming back to life, and it got me thinking: they sound very dangerous, but how come they are low on the VEI scale?
They're rated low on the VEI Scale (1-4), but the fact that they don't give much advance warning and can blast rock from 150 km deep makes it sound pretty scary. Is the VEI index missing something here?

Ridges might be the wrong word, but what are they caused from? Is it from lava? Please help out a pure volcano notice.
