What would or might a VEI 9 to 11 or something Mega volcanic eruption be like from when it violently erupts 2 when it ends?

It would be extremley difficult for life to live on.
A VEI 8 eruption would be equal to 1,000 km3
If a VEI 8 eruption goes past 10,000 km3, it would be classified as a VEI 9
And the PERIMETER of Earth is only 12,700 miles. So, VEI 9 is pretty big.
All I can say, Is that, thousands of VEI 8 eruptions have occured in ALL of Earths history. So, I think only 15 have been VEI 9.
VEI 10 eruptions would possibly be 100,000 km3 so, far beyond Earths perimeter but not surface area.
VEI 11, Is beyond. I can't really get a perspective of how BIG this actually is, but all I can say, It's equal to 2,000,000 VEI 8 eruptions.
Now, this is what it would be like:
VEI 9: Human race problably goes extinct, possibly lots of life too. There is almost no way for anything to recover, But life, could go on.
VEI 10: Human race is wiped out completly, So is millions of species. Only very few species survive.
VEI 11: Everything dies. No life is left. Only a cold, dead planet.

What is the name of the opening in the Earth through which a volcano erupts?
A volcanic vent or fissure (depending on the type of eruption).
Why is a volcanic eruption an example of natural pollution?
A volcanic eruption is an example of natural pollution because when a volcano erupts, volcanic ash and volcanic bombs are also erupted. The air produced suffocates animals and humans which are nearby. The eruptions also destroy houses, plants and trees.
How explosively or quietly a volcano erupts is not affected by?
If a volcano erupts more explosively, the lava spewing out tends to reach farther, possibly ruining a near by town. If it erupts more quietly, not as much lava tends to spew out. However, any eruption will cause harm to the atmosphere because it releases harmful pollutants.
Is it possible to have a volcanic eruption and snowfall at the same time?
Certainly, if the volcano erupts while it's snowing! The hot ashes will melt the snow, of course, but they can occur together.
What is tephra?
Tephra is produced naturally by volcanic eruptions and refers to the material produced when the volcano erupts. Tephra comes in a range of forms and are classified by size Ash, Lapilli or Volcanic blocks.

Can an earthquake occur when a volcano erupts?
Yes. There is normally some level of earthquake associated with a volcanic eruption. It can be mild or a major quake.

How does volcanic ash form?
Volcanic ash forms as a result of gas trapped in magma. As the magma approaches the surface and pressure drops, the gas is released and expands violently. The explosion blasts the magma into small particles, which become volcanic ash.
What are the steps of the volcanic eruption?
1. Magma in the magma chamber begins to build up 2. Magma goes up into the pipe 3. The volcano erupts

Can earthquakes occur when a volcano erupts?
Yes. In fact, earthquakes and tremors usually precede the eruption of a volcano and are caused by the volcanic activity and pressure building up beneath the ground.
When molten rock erupts on earths surface it is called?
Igneous rock that flowed out of the surface if lava; lava blown out of explosive eruptions is Volcanic Ash, or Tuff.
What natural disaster starts with the letter v?
You are probably referring to volcano. A volcano itself is not a natural disaster. A volcanic eruption would be the correct answer. A volcano is fine until it erupts.
What is an eruption cloud?
an eruption cloud is a cloud of ash that forms when a volcano erupts
