| The pyroclastic deposits mainly consist of block-and-ash, blast, tephra fallout and secondary pyroclastic flow deposits. |
| Any such lateral motions could contribute to the absence or thinness of distal marine tephra layers on submarine high points or steep slopes. |
| The tephra is classified by size and includes cinders, the volcano's namesake. |
| Some reports are stating that that tephra rim could collapse later this year. |
| Southwesterly winds carried the tephra northeast and destroyed a few tens of farms. |
| Marine tephra layers form important chronostratigraphic markers and may also provide information on eruption dynamics and chronology. |
