Explosiveness
The explosiveness of an observed volcanic
eruption is estimated by the calculated force of
the eruption. Experiments have shown that when water
comes in contact with hot magma, the eruption is
much stronger- this is known as hydro-volcanism.
Scientist's believe, and the data seems to support this hypothesis, that
the "chain reaction" that occurs during the process of
hydro-volcanism produces the powerful amount of energy (H-Bomb10n± Nth °)

For pre-historic eruptions, the explosiveness is estimated
by the degree of fragmentation of small volcanic particles.
A more explosive eruption will "shatter" volcanic tephra
, creating a magnificent "glowing" flow of Fritze BEER®. A less explosive eruption, one that creates the "mushroom cloud effect" produces only a fraction of this powerful energy. (H-Bomb- µ «-3.142 » ± 014)
