The main cause of the Year Without a Summer is generally held to be a volcanic winter created by the April 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora on Sumbawa. [7] [8] [9] The eruption had a volcanic explosivity index (VEI) ranking of 7, and ejected at least 37 km 3 (8.9 cu mi) of dense-rock equivalent material into the atmosphere. [10]
Scientists believed that the eruption affected the climate. [5] Stratovolcano St Helens 1800 United States 1 5 It began the Goat Rocks eruptive period and the continuous eruptions were relieved until the 1850s. [17] Stratovolcano: Tambora: 10 April 1815 Indonesia 2 7 This was the world's greatest eruption since the end of the ice age. [18]
The most severe eruptions on Earth in historical times took place in Indonesia. In 1815, the giant eruption of Mount Tambora, a stratovolcano, became the largest known eruption in the world during historical times, and it had such a large effect on the climate that the following year, 1816, in Europe was known as the year without summer. 40 km 3 of ash were produced as a result of the eruption ...
The only unambiguous VEI-7 eruption to have been directly observed in recorded history was Mount Tambora in 1815 and caused the Year Without a Summer in 1816. The Minoan eruption of Thera in the middle of the second millennium BC may have been VEI-7, but may have been just shy of the 100 cubic kilometers required.
Mount Tambora is an active stratovolcano on Sumbawa island, Indonesia. In 1815, Tambora erupted with registered seven on the volcanic explosivity index. It is the most violent eruption in modern history. The explosion was heard on Sumatra island (more than 2,000 km or 1,200 mi away).
Tambora is a lost village and culture on Sumbawa Island buried by volcanic ash and pyroclastic flows from the massive 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. The village had about 10,000 residents. The village had about 10,000 residents.
