The explosion that produced the La Garita Caldera in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado was the largest known volcanic eruption in Earth's history. The Tsar Bomba, the most powerful weapon ever denotated by humans, had a yield of 50 megatons. By comparison, the La Garita Caldera explosion was 105 times more powerful.

THATS NOT TRUE. The largest eruption in history was the Siberian Traps eruption 250 million years ago. It was thousands of times more power than the La Grita Caldera and Yellowstone and Toba. The Siberian Traps erupted for a million years and it wiped out 90% of ALL life on Earth.

so far one of the strongest volcanic eruption was in Thera. Also known as the Minoan Eruption. Estimated to have occurred sometime between 1630 and 1550 BC.

The STRONGEST volcanic eruption in the history of the Earth is or are the three major eruptions of Mt. Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park.

The 1815 eruption of Tambora (Sumbawa, Indonesia) ejected about 30 to 80 times more ash than did Mount St. Helens in 1980 but even at that it was about 30% smaller than the Mount Mazama ( Crater lake Oregon) eruption in 5000 BC. But the grandaddy Yellowstone eruption nearly a million years ago was up to 100 time larger than that even.
