The size of the Caldera in Indonesia is about 30-35×100 km. some say 30 and some say 35 but the Yellow stone caldera is bigger. Yellowstone's is a about 85×45 km. For sizes on all of the biggest go to: http://geology.about.com/library/bl/blbigcalderas.htm
They didn't prepare. The Lake Toba eruption was 74,000 years ago, before the development of civilization. The people around at the time were hunter-gatherers. They didn't know what a volcano was or how to prepare for an eruption.
volcanoes that contain small amounts of carbon dioxide<<<<WRONG!! VOLCANOES THAT HAVE LARGE AMOUNTS OF SILICA!!!! ^ wrong again A supervolcano (Caldera) has a VEI (volcanic explositivity index) of up to 8 namedly 'The Yellow Stone Caldera' and 'Lake Toba.' Lake Toba Erupted 2800KM3 of ash and lava.
Most likely. The volcano has continued to erupt regularly since its last massive explosion in 1883.
its a supervolcano
No. Lake Toba is a freshwater lake.
Lake Toba is on the island of Sumatra.
The area of Lake Toba is 1,130 square kilometers.
As the geologists say that lake toba erupts every 700,000 years and lake toba last erupted 75,000 years ago so lake toba will next erupt 625,000 years after.
Lake Toba
That is not true about Lake Toba. They recently discovered Lava in the Super Volcano and it is considered restless. Yellowstone could not hold a candle to what Lake Toba can do the world.
lake Toba in Indonesia
The area of Lake Toba is 440 square miles, or 1130 square kilometers. It is the largest volcanic lake on Earth, and is part of the Toba caldera complex in Indonesia.
lake Toba in Indonesia
Lake Toba is a body of water that also doubles as a super volcano. The lake is found on the Indonesian island known as Sumatra. The island is located west of Indonesia.
It already is, and feeding the growth of Samosir Island, in the center of Lake Toba. The Toba volcano is expected to erupt again in about 300,000 years. Plan on being out of town,
