你可以通过“火山爆发指数”(VEI)来比较喷发和火山,它把火山爆发分为8个等级。
An eight-point scale called the "volcanic explosivity index" (VEI) allows you to compare eruptions and volcanoes.
列入关注的理由:20世纪四次最大规模的火山爆发,圣塔玛里亚就占了一次,记录的火山爆发指数(VEI)为6级,留下了一个直径为700-1000米的火山口。
Reasons to worry: Santa María's last big blast was one of the four largest volcaniceruptions in the 20th century, registering a VEI magnitude of 6 and leaving a 700-by-1,000 meter craterbehind.
在这里的所谓奥努伊(Oruanui)喷发是最近的得分最高的火山事件,是10分的火山爆发指数(VEI)中得了8分,比坦博拉火山爆发要大些,比喀拉喀托火山爆发大100倍。
The so-called Oruanui eruption was the most recent volcanic event to score the maximum 8 on the VEI – 10 times bigger than Tambora, and 100 times bigger than Krakatoa.
