• ... that the fifth-largest known volcanic eruption on Earth at La Pacana in Chile erupted 2,451–3,500 cubic kilometres of rock? In this work, we present a gravimetric study of the inner structure of La Pacana, the largest caldera in the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex (e.g., Gardeweg and Ramírez, 1987; De Silva, 1989a, b), which produced the fifth largest eruption ever registered in the geological record

• @Jo-Jo Eumerus: what do you think of saying "spewed 2,451–3,500 cubic kilometres of rock" to remove the repetition of "eruption...erupted"? Also, do you have a conversion template for the measurement? Yoninah (talk) 01:26, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

• Something like this? I am not sure how many readers of the main page need Imperial units. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk, contributions) 09:28, 12 March 2018 (UTC)

• ... that the fifth-largest known volcanic eruption on Earth at La Pacana in Chile spewed 2,451–3,500 cubic kilometres (588–840 cu mi) of rock? In this work, we present a gravimetric study of the inner structure of La Pacana, the largest caldera in the Altiplano Puna Volcanic Complex (e.g., Gardeweg and Ramírez, 1987; De Silva, 1989a, b), which produced the fifth largest eruption ever registered in the geological record

• OK, thanks, and I agree that the conversion template just clutters things up. Restoring tick per Lappspira's review. Yoninah (talk) 21:38, 12 March 2018 (UTC)
