How much volcanic material is produced every year?
Here's a few estimates.
Global Production
Global mid-ocean ridge systems (magma and lava): 3 cubic km per year Continental volcanic systems (magma and lava): 1 cubic km per year
Andesite and Dacite Volcanoes Augustine (1976): 11.6 m3/sec Usu (1910): 3.5 m3/sec Bezymianny (1955-1957): 1.8 m3/sec Santorini (1866-1870): 0.7 m3/sec Mount St. Helens (1980-present): 0.5 m3/sec Colima (1975-1976): 0.05 m3/sec From Table 4.2 of Cas and Wright (1987).
The eruption rates for 14 composite cones ranged from 0.5 km3/1,000 years to 27.5 km3/1,000 years.
Basaltic Volcanoes
The current eruption rate of basalt at Kilauea is about 0.1 cubic km per year. That's high relative to the entire volcanic chain which was created by rates of <0.01 to 0.06 cubic km per year over the last 70 million years. High rates occurred 18, 48, and 58 million years ago. The lowest rates were from about 30-36 million years ago.
The eruption rates for the Puu Oo lava fountains ranged from 17 to 367 m3/sec (0.05 to 1.15 cubic km per year).
The Laki and Grimsvotn eruptions (1783-1785) had an average rate of 2,300 m3/sec (7.25 cubic km per year).
Nyamuragira (1901-1977): 0.4 m3/sec. Vesuvio (1750-1900): 1.9 m3/sec. Kilauea (1952-1971): 3.5 m3/sec. Merapi (1890-1992): 0.04 m3/sec. From Table 2 in Siswowidjoyo and others (1995). Monogenetic Volcanic Fields Michoacan-Guanajuato field: 0.8 km3/1,000 years. Area near Paricutin: 1.2 km3/1,000 years.
