Indonesia did have a long record of the largest volcanic eruption in the history of the world. Kelud who just spew it was already repeatedly recorded with a terrific explosion.
As is known, each eruption contributed to changing patterns of geographic world. As the phenomenon of emergence caldera lake to disrupt the climate for some time. Not a few also in the follow social change.
Note livescience.com reveal an interesting phenomenon that 3 of the 7 most powerful volcanic eruption in the world is coming from Indonesia. Mountain curious what is involved in these records? Here are seven mountains with the explosion of the most dangerous in the world throughout history;
1. Mount Toba (Indonesia)
Imagine, Toba which we know as the lake was once a mountain. The explosion is said to have supervolcanic level at level 8, the highest among the types of volcanic eruptions.
National Geographic Channel (10/11/2011), the Toba eruption occurred about 67,500 to 75,500 years ago. This eruption is the last of a series of three caldera forming eruption that occurred at the volcano. With the previously formed caldera about 700,000 and 840,000 years ago.
The last recorded eruption explosivity index has the highest estimated eruption thus dubbed "Mega-Colossal". It is the largest volcanic eruption in the last 25 million years.
2. Lava Creek (United States)
Now this mountain named Creek Lava. The explosion occurred in the past 640,000 years. In the eruption, the mountain spewed about 240 kilometers of rock and dust into the sky. The eruption is called the Yellowstone supervolcane scale.
Now Creek Lava has been devastated. Scary turns this mountain is still active.
3. Mount Tambora (Indonesia)
Mount Tambora eruption occurred in 1815. In the records of a number of sites of science, these eruptions are ranked among the top largest eruptions in history. Mountains are located in the Sunda islands eruptions heard the thunder of sound to the island of Sumatra.
After the eruption, Europe and North America did not experience the summer for a year. The eruption was issued sulfur into the stratosphere, causing global climate irregularities. Even say this eruption triggered a series of earthquakes and tsunami a few years later.
"High-smoke eruption reached the stratosphere, with a height of more than 43 km.Partikel ash fell 1 to 2 weeks after the eruption, but there are ash particles that remain in the atmosphere for a few months to several years at an altitude of 10-30 km," wrote wikipedia .org.
Estimates vary death. Zollinger (1855) estimates that 10,000 people died from pyroclastic flows. Petroeschevsky (1949) estimates that around 48,000 and 44,000 people were killed in Sumbawa and Lombok.
4. Mount Thera (Greece)
Thera eruption occurred 3600 years ago. Because of the enormity of the eruptions, mountain without a trace. Teletak mountain in Greece and so the mountains are widely used as a tourist destination.
Thera explosion in the entrance level 7 is the level of Ultra-Plinian. According to the Smithsonian Institution Volcanic explosivity index, with Volume Explosive Index (VEI) of 6 to 7 were classified as Ultra Plinian ash fur defined by more than 25 km height and volume of erupted material 10 km3 2 cubic miles to 1,000 km3 in size.
There is no definite record of the explosion of Thera. A number of references from Wikipedia summarized Greece Santorini eruption of Thera, also called the Thera eruption or Santorini eruption, was a volcanic eruption is estimated to occur in the mid-second millennium BC.
This eruption is one of the largest volcanic events on Earth. The eruption destroyed the island of Thera, including the Minoan civilization and Akrotiri and agricultural communities and regions around the island and the coast of Crete. This eruption is one of the causes of the collapse of the Minoan civilization.
5. Mount Pinatubo (Philippines)
Pinatubo is an active stratovolcano that erupted in 1991. Ledaka devastating it is said to be the biggest explosion along Aban 20. Thanks to the alertness of the local government, thousands of lives have been rescued from the devastating explosion.
Due to the area around the volcano explosion destroyed by pyroclastic flows, ash and lava. Pinatubo explosion blast included in level 6.
6. Krakatoa (Indonesia)
Mount Krakatoa erupted in 1883. Resulting in 36,000 people died with volcanic ash covered the sun for almost a year. The distribution of volcanic ash carried by the wind to Norway and New York, USA.
According to Simon Winchester, lulusanUniversitas Oxford English geologist who is also the author of National Geographic said that the explosion was the biggest, loudest voice and the most devastating volcanic events in modern human history. Eruptions voice sounded to 4,600 miles from the center of the explosion and can even be heard by 1/8 of the earth's population at the time.
As quoted by Wikipedia.org, according to researchers at the University of North Dakota, along with the explosion of Krakatoa explosion of Tambora (1815) recorded a value of Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) in modern history. The Guinness Book of Records recorded the explosion of Krakatoa as the most powerful explosion in recorded history.
7. Mount Huaynaputina (Peru)
Huaynaputina explosion fall into one of a volcanic eruption that caused climate change in several countries. Huaynaputina is a stratovolcano located in southern Peru.
Livescience.com (12/07/2004), the volcano does not have a mountain profiles identified, but has a large volcanic crater shape. On February 19, 1600, the mountain erupted and got a scale of 6 in the Volcanic explosivity index. The explosion was the largest eruption in South America.
When Huaynaputina erupted, pyroclastic flows moved 13 km to the east and southeast, and lava, volcanic mud destroy several villages and reach the Pacific ocean beaches within 120 miles. Abu reportedly thrown as far as 250-500 km.
