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.
