The first recorded volcanic eruption is widely thought to have been the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. However, the first actual recording may have been recorded in a painting on the wall of a house in an ancient village in Turkey. The picture depicts a twin peaked volcano eruptng ash and perhaps shows lava flows from the flanks and would have been made arount 6200 BC.

∙ 13y agoThe earliest known recorded volcanic eruption dates back about 9,000 years.
Specifically, a wall painting has been found in Turkey, at Çatalhöyük. It has been dated to about 7,000 years before the Christian era. It shows houses beneath an erupting, twin-peaked volcano, which has been identified as most likely Hasan Dağ or Melendiz Dağ.
But that most likely was not the first time ever that a volcano erupted. For example, Alaska's Fourpeaked Mountain volcano is thought to have erupted about 8,000 years before the Christian era.
Additionally, if Atlantis existed, then a volcanic eruption may have helped sink it into the ocean about 9,600 years before the Christian era. Our source of information on Atlantis is Plato. But he lived in the fifth and fourth centuries before the Christian era. So his account was neither contemporary nor eyewitness.

∙ 10y agoThe worst Krakatoa eruption was the 1883 eruption. The eruption began on the 20th May 1883 and finished on the 21st October 1883. I found this out while doing my homework and decided to share the information out for others. Hope this helped!

∙ 14y agook here's some info i found on google :)
Volcanologists have found old volcanic rocks in the cratons of most continents. Here's a brief list of places and ages:
Canada: 3.5 to 2.8 billion years
Rhodesia (Zimbabwe): 3.4 billion years
South Africa: 3.3 billion years
West Australia: 2.8 billion years
West Australia: 3.1 billion years
so the oldest volcanic rock seems to be 3.4 billion years old, and in Rhodesia
hope this helps :)
