Huaynaputina volcanic eruption in 1600 was the largest volcanic eruption in the United States with the power of the eruption of VEI scale 6. The explosion issued mud as far as 75 miles into the Pacific ocean and have a serious impact on the world climate. Raises the temperature of the coldest in the last 500 years. Abunyapun cover the region of mountain land Huaynaputina 20 miles and can still be seen today. The event was well destroy the nearby city Arequipa and Moquengua that it took almost a century later to be recovered.
9.Mount Krakatau - Indonesia
Mountain that lies between the islands of Java and Sumatra islands, namely in the Sunda Strait, until recently listed as the volcano is still active. The explosion in 1883 was recorded as the most powerful explosions in the history of the Guinness Book of Records. The explosion caused a mega-tsunami with wave heights up to 40 meters and takes 34,000 lives. Secrete large amounts of volcanic ash, pumice and the eruption was heard by thousands of miles and even up in the small islands in the East African island. Krakatoa explosion strength is approximately 13,000 times the power of the atomic bomb in Hiroishima and Nagasaki. Hundreds of people on the island of Sumatra, was killed instantly when the dust heat hit their settlement. Post erupted, Krakatau plunged into the sea. But after the new island and the child of Krakatoa began to grow and emerge, this time carrying a child height of the Krakatoa volcano about 200 meters above sea level, at the outbreak of 1883, the altitude of about 700 meters above sea level. Will Krakatu erupted again someday?
8.Mount Mauna Loa - Hawaii
Is one of the most active volcanoes in the world, located on the seabed in the Pacific and rises 17 kilometers from the ocean floor. This volcano has erupted at least 70,000 years ago, magma derived from the Hawaiian hotspot is exactly what creates Haiwaii island. The most recent eruption occurred on March 24, 1984 until April 1984 and led to the natural instability. In 1926 and 1950, eruption that destroyed a nearby village. Currently, Mauna Loa is part of the Decade Volcanoes program which refers to the study of the most dangerous volcanoes.
7.Mount Novarupta - Alaska PeninsulaOccurred in June 1912 with the VEI scale 6, eruptions spewed 3 kilometers of magma and dust into the air and covering an area of ash 3:00 mile with a depth of about 30 cm.
6.Mount Pinatubo - PhilippinesErupted in 1991, spent more than 5 cubic kilometers of volcanic material into the air and create a column of ash as high as 35 km in the atmosphere. The blast also spewed millions of tons of sulfur and other particles into the air that spreads throughout the world, causing global temperatures decreased by about 0.5 degrees Celsius over the next year. Fortunately, this eruption prediction will be right so that tens of thousands of lives were saved because they had sought refuge, although in the area around the volcano devastated by pyroclastic flows, ash and lava.
5.Ambrym Island - Vanuatu IslandsAmbrym is the name of a volcanic island in the archipelago of Vanuatu in the southwest Pacific Ocean. Eruption that occurred during the period 50 BC This is the biggest eruption in history with VEI level 6+, eruption sent a wave of hot ash and dust that make up the 12 km wide caldera. Since 1774, the mountain has erupted at least 50 times and is one of the most active volcanoes and dangerous in the world.
4.Mount Ilopango - El SalvadorAn active volcano is located just a few kilometers from the capital city of San Salvador. Throughout recorded history, only happened twice eruption alone. The first eruption in the 5th century AD blanketed much of central and western El Salvador with ash and pumice to destroy the early Maya cities. The eruption was bigger than Krakatoa in 1883, with the rank VEI 6-7. The next eruption in 1879-1880 affected by tidal earth, Namu further explanation explains that the basaltic andesite magma 2% on the seabed crystallize thereby triggering an eruption in 1880.
3.Mount Changbaishan / Baitoushan - Border of China and North KoreaErupted at around 100 BC with a VEI 7 that match the scale of the mountain VEI Thera. Located on the border of China and North Korea, the eruptions spewing volcanic material up to a radius of 1,200 kilometers to the North of Japan. Last erupted in 1702, according to geologists, the mountain is now no longer active. Emission peak was reported out of the hot springs in 1994, but there is no further evidence of volcanic activity since then. Now, caldera created by the eruption of the volcano filled with water and become lakes. The lake became a popular tourist destination for its natural beauty and mythical creatures believed the existence of the lake mi mute.
2.Mount Thera - GreeceErupted around 1610 BC with the energy of several hundred times that of the atomic om in Hiroshima and Nagasaki to shake the whole mainland Mediterranean. Geologists reported that this eruption could be the most powerful volcanic eruption ever witnessed. Super-powerful eruption caused the extinction of the Minoan culture which also inspired the ancient cultures as "The Lost Atlantis".
1.Mount Tambora - IndonesiaMount Tambora in the area of Sumbawa has erupted with the largest eruption ever recorded in human history. Data Volcanic explosivity index (VEI) it was recorded at VEI 7, of the scale range is the most powerful VEI 8 eruption that occurred in 1815 ago, the explosion heard up to the island of Sumatra, which is about 1,930 miles away, and thick ash cloud spread to Sri Lanka and Australia . The deadly incident, around 71,000 lives were lost, and the heat that burst pierce the atmosphere to cause global climate change. Recorded in 1816, in Europe and America there was no summer and is known as "the year without summer" in which humans and animals freeze, crops fail and people fear to think that the end was coming soon. Cold temperatures also cause depletion of food, hunger was widespread as wheat and potato crop failures in the southwest and northern Ireland. Prices of basic commodities soar, rioting and looting a lot happening in the markets and shops. The weather disrupted in all directions, ie in Western Europe, America and Asia. Cholera and typhoid epidemic disease, frost of the year in New England and Canada. This phenomenon is called global cooling or global cooling. The eruption of Mount Tambora 100 times more powerful than Mount Thera, while the eruption of Thera 4 times more powerful than the eruption of Krakatoa. It is remarkable terrible.
