that scientists have witnessed and historic eruptions that happened thousands to millions of years ago.

Pyroclastic material includes volcanic ash, tephra, pyroclastic flows, and other types of ejecta. The height of the eruption column and the duration of the eruption are also considered in assigning a VEI level to an eruption.
