Material shot out of the volcano at 2,575 kilometres per hour (715 metres per second). [10] The energy released from the explosion has been estimated to be equal to about 200 megatonnes of TNT (840 petajoules), [11] roughly four times as powerful as the Tsar Bomba, the most powerful thermonuclear weapon ever detonated. This makes it one of the ...
