The concept of volcanic eruption intensity measurement: Volcanic Explosivity Index, the standard logarithmic scale for the size of an explosive volcanic eruption. Belongs here: a concept specifically about volcanic activity or its measurement. Does not belong here: a concept about earthquake or storm intensity, held under Seismology or Meteorology instead, even where the general idea of an intensity scale is shared.
