Mount Tambora was the worst volcanic eruption to date.Mount Tambora erupted April 10th,1815 it killed over 10,000 people from the eruption and another 82,00 from things such as disease and starvation.It caused the year without a summer in 1816.the ashes of the volcano which was 93 cubic miles rose up to the earth stratoshere.There were two other volcanic eruptions in La Soufriere in Saint Vincent in 1812 and Mayon in the Philippines.Although these were not intense,there was exhisting dust in the atmoshere making it much worse.In addition to volcanic activity,the sun was going through a period called the Dalton Minimum.Low magnetic activity reduces the number of bright spots on the sun making the sun slightly dimmer.
