Volcanic eruptions are classified on the Volcanic Explosivity index, which is based on parameters such as the amount of material erupted and the height of the eruption column.

What are the three things scientists use to classify a volcano?

There is no easy answer to this question, as scientists classify volcanoes in several different ways, including size, shape, explosivity, lava type, and tectonic occurrence. Furthermore, these different classifications often correlate. A volcano that has very effusive eruptions, for example, is unlikely to form a stratovolcano.

How many times a day will a volcano erupt in one day or 24 hours?

The frequency of volcanic eruptions varies greatly depending on the volcano. Some volcanoes may have multiple eruptions in a day, while others may have much longer periods of inactivity between eruptions. It is not possible to predict the exact number of eruptions that may occur in a 24-hour period for any given volcano.


Why do geologists classify mount Fuji as active volcano?

Geologists classify Mount Fuji as an active volcano because it has erupted within the last 10,000 years and shows signs of ongoing seismic and volcanic activity, such as hot springs and gas emissions. This indicates that there is still potential for future eruptions.
