The first major volcanic event 240,000 years ago was the initial Mamaku eruption followed within an hours/days/weeks of a smaller eruption (phase 1) from the same mush body feeding the Ohakuri Caldera about 30 km (19 mi) to the south. [2] Ignimbrite, up to 180 metres (590 ft) thick was deposited in the surrounding area to the south of Rotorua. [1]
Tephrochronology is a geochronological technique that uses discrete layers of tephra—volcanic ash from a single eruption—to create a chronological framework in which paleoenvironmental or archaeological records can be placed. Often, when a volcano explodes, biological organisms are killed and their remains are buried within the tephra layer.
Mount Usu (有珠山, Usu-zan [3]) is an active stratovolcano in the Shikotsu-Tōya National Park, Hokkaido, Japan.It has erupted four times since 1900: in 1910 (which created Meiji-shinzan [4]), 1944–45 (which created Shōwa-shinzan), August 7, 1977, [5] and on March 31, 2000.

The largest volcanic eruption of the past two million years occurred on the Indonesian island of Sumatra some 75,000 years ago. The impact from the supervolcano Lake Toba decimated the local habitat, but gas, ash and debris from Toba made their way around the planet and formed a shield in the atmosphere that deflected the sun's warming rays.
