Scientist believe the most powerful volcanic eruption occurred approximately 2 million years ago when the Yellowstone Caldera erupted. It produced an eruption 2500 times more powerful than the May 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption.
The two most destructive volcanoes in the past 200 years are located in Indonesia. Mt. Tambora, Indonesia killed 92,000 in April 1815. Krakatoa, Indonesia killed 36,417 in August 1883. Mt. Pelee, Martinique killed 29,025 in August 1902. Nevada del Ruiz, Colombia killed 23,000 in November 1985. Mt. Unzen, Japan killed 14,300 in 1792.

Is a volcano a destructive or constructive process?
If you must choose between one of the two, 'destructive' is the best choice since a geyser eruption never 'constructs' anything. And some enormous eruption might 'destroy' its immediate surroundings.In practice however, geysers are neither of the two. They hardly ever 'destroy' anything, being basically just natural fountains that start randomly or blow water and steam continuously, just like artificial fountains. The do however indicate the presence of volcanic activity in the very near vicinity. And such a volcanic eruption certainly would be labeled 'destructive'.
What was the most destructive volcanic eruption in the history of the US?
