Mount Tambora's eruption in April 1815 was one of the most powerful volcanic events in recorded history. The eruption ejected vast amounts of ash and volcanic gases into the atmosphere, affecting global climate and weather patterns. Ashfall was reported up to 1,000 kilometers (about 620 miles) away, and the resulting climatic effects, known as the "Year Without a Summer," caused widespread agricultural impacts across the Northern Hemisphere.
The effects of the Mount Tambora eruption of 1815 were felt worldwide.
The most destructive eruption of Mount Hood occurred around 1,500 years ago. This eruption generated huge mudflows that traveled as far as the Columbia River, causing widespread destruction to the surrounding landscape. Today, Mount Hood is considered dormant, with no recent activity indicating an imminent eruption.
No, because Mount Tambora did erupt in 2011. It was however the largest eruption in recorded history.
For the 21st century, that would be Mount Merapi in Indonesia in 2010 so far.
The 1631 eruption of Mount Vesuvius lasted for a few days. Reports of time suggest from 2 or 3 days to 4 or 5 days, after which the volcano was only about one third its former altitude. Links can be found below.
The largest eruption in recorded history was produced by Mount Tambora in 1815. Note, though, that far larger eruptions have occurred in prehistoric time.
Mount Katmai in Alaska is best known for a massive volcanic eruption in 1912 that deposited ash as far away as California. The eruption was one of the largest in the 20th century and caused widespread damage to the surrounding area, including the collapse of the volcano's summit. The eruption had a significant impact on the local ecosystem, but there were no direct human casualties reported.
actually it happened in 79 A.D.
Mount Fuji's last eruption occurred in December 1707 during the Edo period, known as the Hōei eruption. The eruption primarily affected areas in the surrounding region, including the city of Fujiyoshida, and the ashfall reached as far as Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The eruption deposited significant amounts of ash, impacting agriculture and air quality in the vicinity.
The ash from volcanic eruptions can reach altitudes of up to 20-30 kilometers into the atmosphere. The exact height can vary depending on the size and intensity of the eruption.
Yes, far more explosive. The eruption of Krakatoa was more than 10 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens.
Mount Pinatubo is currently 1,485 m (4,872 ft). However before the 1991 eruption it was a lot higher at 1,745 m (5,725 ft)
