By clarifying what was happening, they discovered an unexpected system of gene regulation in living cells and began an explosive phase of research in a field known variously as RNA interference or gene silencing.
Eruptive activity generally included cone, tuff ring, or maar formation, a pyroclastic surge, an explosive phase with some tephra dispersion, and a lava flow (see Kereszturi et al., 2014).

If the supergroups of eukaryotes indeed diverged in a rapid succession during an explosive phase of evolution, the problem of estimating the age of the Last Eukaryotic Common Ancestor (LECA) assumes a special importance.
Stratigraphy and facies architecture at El Barronal suggest that a succession of several discrete eruptive events occurred with a similar cyclic pattern made of an initial explosive phase followed by effusive emplacement of lavas, in turn followed by a period of quiescence of volcanic activity.
Thus, to the best of our understanding, there was an early explosive phase of evolution of complexity, which was followed by stasis (the prokaryotic phase of life's history) and then by another burst associated with eukaryogenesis.
Best-fit results from the inversion model indicated that the eruption began with a short (4 h), high-intensity Plinian explosive phase that produced a column 44 km in height, and a mass eruption rate (MER) of 3.75 × 109 kg/s.
