The simulation of the tambora eruption was very awesome!!! I wish you all could make more of different volcanoes erupting. The power the earth released in that setting was terrifying and wild. 🤯

I'm from El Salvador and back in 2001 in February 13th and march 13th there were two earthquakes and I happen to live by the lake when people used to talk about lava coming out off the sand around the lake, so I went to check and didnt see lava, yet burned sand in a black color and the heat that radiated the surrounding, that left me petrified because I didnt know that lake is sitting right on top of such volcano, since then we understand the fragility of our culture.

island of Thera, south Aegean Sea in Mediterranean Sea. erupted several times through history and it is the cause of the destruction of the Minoan civilization 3500 years ago with an eruption which made its island collapse in the sea and create a caldera, rised a massive tsunami that wiped out everything in its path and affected dramaticaly the whole known world in every way. that eruption is the 3rd most catastrophic after Tambora in 1815 and Krakatoa in 1883.

[@АгнесияКорделияЕкатерина]

I learned that Indonesia has more than 500 volcanoes, it's only natural that the name Indonesia is ranked number 1 in the category of the most brutal volcanic eruption history (Not just 1 recorded case, but a lot). Even natural disasters in Indonesia have the highest number of cases in the world.

I live in the shadow of a more or less sleeping volcano in British Columbia. I look at it everyday wondering if it will pop off in my lifetime. It's not scary, its awe inspiring.

[@marrieamoerazenobia6794]

I will share my experiences while in Indonesia 2010, 2015, 2018 (Queen Mother Nature's Journey). I'll be honest when I talk about Indonesia, so I apologize in advance. An experience like no other, because I was very happy when I was on a land that has a beautiful, unique, diverse and captivating natural history but also has the biggest, deadliest and most natural disasters in the world. I'm talking about mother nature not about man-made. Indonesia has no less than 500 volcanoes (both active and inactive and underwater volcanoes). Indonesia symbolizes the elements of water, earth, fire, wind and plants combined into one. INDONESIA, at first I didn't know anything about Indonesia. In the end I got a news of a natural disaster in Indonesia, I immediately went to a large library in Europe. It turns out that there is a book that immortalizes the great natural disasters that occurred in Indonesia. The name Indonesia has been recorded and engraved long ago in Europe without us knowing it. I will talk about nature. The advantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : 85% of tourist attractions in Indonesia are natural and 15% are man-made, even UNESCO labels Indonesia as a world heritage. Nature in Indonesia is very beautiful, charming, unique and different but also saves a lot of dark history written by the International. Talking about nature, Indonesia is second to none because of the world level. Disadvantages of tourist attractions in Indonesia : Indonesia is a country that is labeled as an area prone to natural disasters, not only that but also the most deadly and dangerous. There are so many dark history, natural disasters in Indonesia claimed a lot of victims in the world, most often occur and can also have an impact on other countries. It's all written in the history of the world. It is undeniable, the power of Nature in Indonesia is far more frightening, very strong and deadly. Not Chile, Japan, Philippines, USA, Italy, New Zealand, India, China, Russia, Iceland, Greenland, Finland and Canada. Because the largest number of victims of natural disasters in the world is Indonesia. The number of natural disasters in Indonesia from 2016 to 2020 was 17,032 events. That's a 5 year calculation, What if the total is from 1800s? Could be more. In fact, the most earthquakes in the world are not Japan or Chile, but Indonesia. Not only that, hurricanes, tsunamis, landslides, floods, storms, typhoons, earthquakes eruptions and others phenomenon. Very brutal and deadly. Overall, Indonesia has been named a QUEEN MOTHER NATURE, if it wakes up from its sleep then a big event will repeat itself. Nature in Indonesia cannot be used as a joke, because physically Indonesia's geography is included in "ABNORMAL". Nature in Indonesia has a very different level compared to other countries, because it is completely beyond human reason. Many historians, scientists, researchers and volunteers are involved in the "RAGE OF QUEEN MOTHER NATURE IN INDONESIA". The total points for natural attractions in Indonesia are 10/10. Queen Mother Nature brutal power level. >JAPAN : 10 (NORMAL NATURE). >PHILLIPINES : 8 (NORMAL NATURE). >CHILE : 10 (NORMAL NATURE). >NEW ZEALAND : 9 (NORMAL NATURE). >USA : 10 (NORMAL NATURE). >ITALY : 8 (NORMAL NATURE). >CANADA : 8 (NORMAL NATURE). >MALAYSIA : 5 (NORMAL NATURE). >CHINA : 7 (NORMAL NATURE). >ICELAND : 7 (NORMAL NATURE). >THAILAND : 6 (NORMAL NATURE). >GREENLAND : 8 (NORMAL NATURE). >AUSTRALIA : 9 (NORMAL NATURE). >BRASIL : 8 (NORMAL NATURE). >PANAMA : 9 (NORMAL NATURE). >INDONESIA : GOD LEVEL (QUEEN MOTHER NATURE). Please find out how many total deaths are caused by major natural disasters in Indonesia, they occur too often, in fact many other countries have cooperated with Indonesia but have not been able to control natural disasters in Indonesia and are finally labeled as "ABNORMAL". Other countries also experience natural disasters but not as strong, as much and as brutal as nature in Indonesia. It is clear that the physical geography location of Indonesia, which is far apart, seems to be torn apart by nature. Previously, Indonesia territory was not shaped like that but was still connected to Southeast Asia and Australia. Even the governments of many countries have warned the Indonesian government to remain vigilant about natural disasters there, it's no joke because the dark history of the major natural disasters in Indonesia is written and documented by the International. Natural brutality and so scary in Indonesia, among others. >Indonesia has experienced earthquakes for 32 years. The history of the longest earthquake in the world. >Indonesia once covered the whole world in a year without a summer. (Tambor 1815) The occurrence of global poverty affects many countries (Europe, America's, Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania). >Indonesia has experienced the collapse of a very large landmass called SUNDALAND. The split of the islands of Sumatra, Kalimantan, Java, Bali, East Nusa Tenggara and West Nusa Tenggara. Then the mainland was separated from Thailand, Malaysia and Brunei. Everything fell into the sea. >Indonesia once made an earthquake and caused a tsunami that hit 14 countries. (Tsunami Aceh). The collision between the Sumatran plate and the Indian Ocean in the Aceh region of Indonesia caused 14 other countries to experience large tsunamis, even reaching India. >Indonesia has a super volcano that has been designated by UNESCO as an International GeoPark, which results in the death of 90% of mankind in the world. (Toba Supervolcano). Humanity is almost extinct and makes the territory of Indonesia volcanically active. >Indonesia was also previously connected to mainland Australia but collapsed and separated. Not only in the western part of Indonesia, but in eastern Indonesia, there is a collision between the Australian plates. >Indonesia also has a volcano that is recorded as having the loudest sound in the world and causing a tsunami. (Krakatoa 1883). The explosion was much larger than the Hiroshima bomb, generating a tsunami as high as 40 meters, volcanic ash, the loudest and recorded sound in modern world history. >Indonesia also caused flash floods to Timor Leste. The cause of flash floods between the eastern side of Indonesia and the country of Timor Leste was also affected. >And others. There are too many major natural disasters in Indonesia. Too many. In fact, throughout 2022, Indonesia has experienced 954 natural disasters, outperforming other countries. Mother Earth Queen in Indonesia often rages and is very domineering. No other country in the natural category can match it. Other countries also have natural disasters but when compared to natural disasters in Indonesia it is nothing. Queen Mother Nature in Indonesia is of a different class. "The more beautiful you look, the more dangerous you are". (Indonesia is the throne Queen of all the Queens of Mother Nature). The rampage, power, brutality, deadly of nature in Indonesia are at their maximum level : THE REAL QUEEN MOTHER NATURE. Nature in Indonesia has claimed many lives and has an impact on other countries, no matter where they come from. When it goes berserk, its true power will destroy and kill anything in its path. If I write down one by one the major natural disasters in Indonesia, then you will know that what I am typing is a real event.

The volcanoes in The Cascades region 'appear' to be on an approximate 200 year eruption cycle.

[@timothyvanhoeck233]

Mt. Garibaldi, Mt. Cayley and Mt. Meager Massif in British Columbia, as well as Mt. Baker just south of the U.S./Canada border, along with numerous smaller and less well-known active or dormant volcanoes. The Cascadia Volcanic Arc.

[@timothyvanhoeck233]

​@@jameshovater5104 Nah. Each volcano has it's own 'personality', so to speak. Although it is true that the Cascadia arc is less active than, for example, the Aleutian arc. That is because the Tectonic Plate responsible for the region's seismic and volcanic activity has almost completely been subducted under the North American plate, and has broken into several fragments to boot. The Farallon Plate is an ancient tectonic plate, being far older than the Pacific Plate, and as it continued to be subducted, it eventually fragmented into several smaller plates, the largest still-extant fragment of which is the Nazca Plate off the coast of South America. Other fragments include the Cocos and Rivera Plates off the coast of Southwestern Mexico and Central America, the Yakutat microplate (a remnant of the Kula Plate, which is itself also a fragment of the Farallon Plate), suspected to be the source of the Wrangell-St. Elias volcanic belt in Alaska and the Yukon, as well as the Explorer, Gorda and Juan de Fuca Plates, the latter three of which are responsible for the Cascadia arc's volcanic and seismic activity. In other words, the Cascadia arc is slowly decreasing in activity as the microplates continue to be subsumed, and in the not-too-distant geological future, the volcanoes of the Cascadia arc will be all-but extinct.

And yet the two harshest winters in the past 40+ years were '77 and '78 when there were no volcanic eruptions worth mentioning. In fact the winter of '82-'83 was no winter at all thanks to El Nino; the first snow of the season in Central Illinois was on the first day of spring and early March saw record highs in the low 80s.

Between 1815 and 1820, THREE volcanoes contributed to the following cold weather and world famines and deaths. In the period between 1835 and 1838 there was another combination of eruptions, about equal to the world climate efforts, something only recently discovered via the ice cores. Then, there was the big pop on Krakatoa, in 1883, which was another great world-cooling event, just a bit less that the Tambora eruption. So, the 19th century experienced three major periods of climate change via volcano, which explained some very hard, frigid winters all over the world, eventually killing millions.

[@jewelmarkess]

Krakatoa was significantly smaller than Tambora. Krakatoa was VEI 6, Tambora was VEI 7. The difference is exponential. Tambora spewed 38 cubic miles of material vs 11 cubic miles of Krakatoa.

The area around volcanoes contains the most fertile and productive soils on earth and this fact attracts millions of people to live around and even on the slopes of these mountains -this leads to massive loss of life when volcanoes erupt but people just take their chances and hope for the best.

[@qcislander]

The "soil" (for a great many volcanoes) is nothing but minerals and absolutely sterile at first, and can only be fertile after many decades of weathering and successive organic fertilization (by the invasions and deaths of microbes, tiny hardy plants, larger plants, trees... building the needed organic content for "soil"). Depending on the climate and the volcanic-product substrate, the best fertile soil may come to fruition anywhere from 200 to 2000 years after the eruption that laid it all down on the surface.

Krakatoa certainly caused that eruption that brought Justinian's people & the many people of the western world to their knees in the 6th century AD since the volcanic ash fragments had been identified & traced it to Krakatoa & the Chinese chronicles from the same time period had recorded the sounds of Krakatoa's eruption & they had suffered the same effects as the western world. The Mayan people were crippled by a volcano in their vicinity.....Krakatoa had competition.

We are entering a period of Global Cooling. During the Maunder Minimum the sun radiated less heat. Wheat prices rose 400% in the UK. But Dr Valentina Zarkhova has noticed that more significant than the slight global cooling is the reduction of the sun's magnetosphere. This allows more cosmic rays (nuclear particles from distant decaying stars) to strike the earth. The New Madrid fault had a major quake during the Maunder Minimum on 12-25-1699. During the Dalton Minimum, the New Madrid fault had 4 quakes on 3 days in 1811-1812. Japanese scientists also noted an increase in the number of volcanoes during a Grand Solar Minimum. The likely cause of the increase in both quakes and volcanoes is the increased number of cosmic rays energizing the earth. A worse global disaster would be a massive volcano like the one in Indonesia in 1815 that caused a year without a summer. Enter this into Google "1816 Year without a summer". If that happened today at least 3 billion people would die within 3 years. We are entering the Eddy Grand Solar Minimum in 2019. Winter 2019-2020 will be harsh. The first of many to come. Also expect the reduced earth magnetopshere to let the Jet Stream to wander about causing wild changes in weather patterns, floods in some areas and droughts in others.

The volcanoes around the world are majestic, but when they erupt they are no friends and you can't do anything about it. If it's going to erupt it will. I am fascinated with the story of Krakatau 1883 eruption, and 1991 eruption of Mt Pinatubo Philippines. The power and forces cannot be matched by mans devices.

[@rimmipeepsicles1870]

Pozzuoli has been steadily rising for a long, long time -- meaning a magma chamber filling underneath, and not far down either. Sooner or later that will find a route to the surface ... Ever look at a map of the Naples area? Circles, circles everywhere ... When you see a whole bunch of neat circles in a landscape, that's Nature telling you that it's not a smart place to build a big city.

[@sbcburgos2300]

Which one was more powerful? The 1257 Rinjani eruption, or the Ilopango eruption of 535AD? There seems to be a discrepancy in consensus with this. Some say the Rinjani eruption was more powerful, and other says the Ilopango eruption was more powerful. Help me here

Rinjani eruption was stronger. Estimates of Ilopango eruption is 84-104km^3 while Rinjani had 130-200 km^3

[@tandiparent1906]

I'm pretty sure that even before what we know as Christians &/or religious, people wondered if it was going to be the end of the world, whenever any major things like major earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunamis, & tornadoes happened. Batox213.... Revelations, in the Bible, has absolutely nothing to do with EVERY little thing that happens concerning the environment; but, only what Christians believe will happen before Christ returns.... the fact that some preachers/clergy of different religions screamed that the end of the world was nearby over the centuries, tells more of their character of just wanting more church members thru' using fear, than it ever did of the teachings and predictions from Revelations.

I know of three places in the world where volcanoes are particularly dangerous: Central America, the Cascade Mountains of the northwestern continental USA, and the Indonesian Archipelago. All three have volcanoes sitting on top of subduction zones, and the resulting eruptions can be extremely violent. Indeed, the volcanoes in Indonesia are capable on truly huge eruptions that could spew over 10 cubic miles of ash into the atmosphere, which can cause climate changes lasting for up to a decade. Indeed, the eruption of Pintatubo in 1991 resulted in California getting way above normal rains for several years afterwards.
