The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815 is considered one of the most powerful and explosive volcanic eruptions in historic times. It is known as the "year without a summer" due to the global climate impact caused by the eruption.
No. Volcanic eruptions in Hawaii are not usually explosive.
The Krakatoa eruption in 1883 was a Plinian eruption, which is a highly explosive volcanic event characterized by the eruption of vast amounts of ash and volcanic material into the atmosphere. The eruption of Krakatoa was one of the most powerful volcanic explosions in recorded history.
Basaltic
The most destructive eruption of Sakurajima occurred in 1914 when a large explosive eruption caused significant damage to surrounding areas and resulted in the formation of the current volcanic island.
When a large explosive volcanic eruption destroys most of the volcano, the resulting large crater is called a caldera.
Krakatoa is a volcano that erupted. In the eruption, gases were trapped below the cap of the volcano. The explosive eruption occurred when the pressure was enough to blow the cap off of the volcano.
Yes, the eruption of Mount Krakatoa in 1883 was a volcanic eruption. It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history, resulting in the destruction of most of the island and causing significant global climate effects.
Yes Tambora can be an explosive volcano. The large 1815 eruption blew nearly 4,000 feet off the top of the mountain and was Earth's biggest volcanic explosion of the past 10,000 years. But it can also have smaller non-explosive eruptions like the one in 1967.
No. The west coast is the most likely place for a volcanic eruption.
1790
Mt. St. Helens is known for its explosive eruption in 1980, characterized by ash clouds, pyroclastic flows, and lateral blasts. It is considered one of the most significant volcanic events in U.S. history.
