129 "...Mt. Krakatoa..."<br />
"Mt. Krakatoa is a volcanic isl<strong>and</strong> in the Sunda Strait between Java <strong>and</strong> Sumatra in<br />
Indonesia. <strong>The</strong> name is used for the isl<strong>and</strong> group, the main isl<strong>and</strong> (also called Rakata), <strong>and</strong><br />
the volcano as a whole. It has erupted repeatedly, massively, <strong>and</strong> with disastrous<br />
consequences throughout recorded history. <strong>The</strong> best known eruption culminated in a series<br />
of massive explosions on August 26-27 1883, which was among the most violent volcanic<br />
events in modern times. With a Volcanic Explosivity Index of 6, it was equivalent to 200<br />
megatonnes of TNT — about 13,000 times the yield of the Little Boy bomb (13 to 16 KT),<br />
which devastated Hiroshima, Japan.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 1883 eruption ejected more than 25 cubic kilometres of rock, ash, <strong>and</strong> pumice, <strong>and</strong><br />
generated the loudest sound historically reported: the cataclysmic explosion was distinctly<br />
heard as far away as Perth in Australia approx. 1,930 miles (3,110 km), <strong>and</strong> the isl<strong>and</strong> of<br />
Rodrigues near Mauritius approx. 3,000 miles (5,000 km). Near Krakatoa, according to<br />
official records, 165 villages <strong>and</strong> towns were destroyed <strong>and</strong> 132 seriously damaged, at least<br />
36,417 (official toll) people died, <strong>and</strong> many thous<strong>and</strong>s were injured by the eruption, mostly<br />
from the tsunamis which followed the explosion.<br />
<strong>The</strong> eruption destroyed two thirds of the isl<strong>and</strong> of Krakatoa. Eruptions at the volcano since<br />
1927 have built a new isl<strong>and</strong> in the same location, called Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatoa)."<br />

130 "... colossal volcanic explosion..."<br />
"A supervolcano is a volcano that produces the largest <strong>and</strong> most voluminous kinds of<br />
eruption on <strong>Earth</strong>. <strong>The</strong> explosivity of such eruptions varies, but the volume of ejected tephra<br />
is enough to radically alter the l<strong>and</strong>scape <strong>and</strong> severely affect global climate for years,<br />
with cataclysmic consequences for life VEI-8 volcanic events have included eruptions at the<br />
following locations. Estimates of the volume of erupted material are given in parentheses.<br />
• Lake Taupo, North Isl<strong>and</strong>, New Zeal<strong>and</strong> - Oruanui eruption 26,500 years ago (1,170<br />
km³)<br />
• Lake Toba, Sumatra, Indonesia - 75,000 years ago (2,800 km³)<br />
• Yellowstone Caldera, Wyoming, United States - 2.2 million years ago (2,500 km³)<br />
<strong>and</strong> 640,000 years ago (1,000 km³)<br />
• La Garita Caldera, Colorado, United States - Source of the truly enormous eruption<br />
of the Fish Canyon Tuff 27.8 million years ago (~5,000 km³)<br />
<strong>The</strong> Lake Toba eruption plunged the <strong>Earth</strong> into a volcanic winter, eradicating an<br />
estimated 60% of the human population (although humans managed to survive, even<br />
in the vicinity of the volcano), <strong>and</strong> was responsible for the formation of sulfuric acid in<br />
the atmosphere.<br />
Many other supermassive eruptions have also occurred in the geological past."<br />
