What was the deadliest super volcano eruption

1 answer

The deadliest super volcano eruption in recorded history is widely believed to be the eruption of the Toba volcano in Sumatra, Indonesia, approximately 74,000 years ago. The eruption was a catastrophe of global proportions, with estimates suggesting that it released about 2,800 cubic kilometers of volcanic ash and debris, which blanketed vast areas of land and caused a dramatic decrease in global temperatures. The eruption is believed to have resulted in a volcanic winter, wiping out a significant portion of the Earth's human population at the time, and leading to a severe ecological and climatic impact. However, it is important to note that the specific details and magnitude of the eruption remain subjects of scientific debate and ongoing research.
