Question

4. Based on this limited dataset, qualitatively assess the possibility of the correlations listed below. Explain the reasons for your conclusions. Is there evidence for a correlation between VEI and volcano type? Hypothesize why or why not. (2 pts) a. b. Is there evidence for a correlation between VEl andt ype(s) of volcanic hazard? Hypothesize why or why not. (2 pts) b. Is there evidence for a correlation between VEI and fatalities? Hypothesize why or why not. What other factors might be better predictors for fatalities for a given eruption? 2 pts)

Explanation / Answer

Answer (a) : VEI AND VOLCANOES RELATION

Yes, there is a relation between VEI and volcanoes since, VEI stands for the (Volcanoes Explosivity Index).

Which actually measure the intensity of volcanic explosion. It gives us the measure the relativeness of explosions.

Answer (b) : Yes, they are in direct relation to each other or in other words Vocanic hazard is directly proportional to Volcanic Ekplosivity index. Higher the VEI greater will hazard.
