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.
A volcanic vent or fissure (depending on the type of eruption).
Which part of the Earth's interior is spewed out in a volcanic eruption?
An eruption cloud is a large plume of volcanic ash, gases, and other material that is ejected into the atmosphere during a volcanic eruption. These clouds can reach high into the atmosphere and pose hazards to aviation, health, and the environment.
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.
Yes, smoke is produced when a volcano erupts. The smoke is typically made up of a mixture of gas, ash, and steam that is expelled from the volcano during an eruption.
A volcanic vent or fissure (depending on the type of eruption).
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.

Yes. There is normally some level of earthquake associated with a volcanic eruption. It can be mild or a major quake.

1. Magma in the magma chamber begins to build up 2. Magma goes up into the pipe 3. The volcano erupts
Yes, smoke is produced when a volcano erupts. The smoke is typically made up of a mixture of gas, ash, and steam that is expelled from the volcano during an eruption.
Certainly, if the volcano erupts while it's snowing! The hot ashes will melt the snow, of course, but they can occur together.
An eruption cloud
Yes, a volcanic eruption is part of the rock cycle. When a volcano erupts, magma from beneath the Earth's surface is expelled onto the surface as lava. Once the lava cools and solidifies, it forms igneous rock, which is a key component of the rock cycle.
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.
