Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) 2 magmatic and phreatomagmatic fallout conditional probability of minimum tephra load leading to roof collapse (200 kg/m2). VEI 3 magmatic and phreatomagmatic fallout conditional probability of minimum load of roof collapse (200 kg/m2). VEI 3 concentrated PDC conditional probability and dynamic overpressure (Pa).
