The Scientific Committee has reevaluated the Cumbre Vieja volcano eruption and upgraded its magnitude from VEI-2 to VEI-3. The classification is based on the volume of pyroclastic material ejected. Now, the eruption is mainly Vulcanian and displays substantial tropospheric injection.
La erupción pasa a VEI-3, tal y como hace días anunciaron ya nuestros expertos. La gran cantidad de ceniza caída indicaba claramente el paso a este nivel, tras una reevaluación del comité del PEVOLCA. El VEI-3 no indica que la erupción empeore ni que cambie su comportamiento pic.twitter.com/7pRye6fzMk
