Dream - Did you know? Volcanic eruptions are extraordinary events that can have long-lasting impacts on all living creatures on Earth. In fact, for six years, the Earth was engulfed in darkness due to the eruption of that volcano. Many human lives were lost both during and after the eruption.

The human population also decreased due to a shortage of food sources caused by the strong eruption impact, which prevented trees and foliage from carrying out the process of photosynthesis. As a result, many people at that time died of starvation. According to I Am Lejen, here are 4 of the most powerful and terrifying volcanic eruptions in history. The Earth became dark for 6 years.

The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "The strength of its eruption reached a scale of 6 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI). The height of the ash released into the atmosphere by this mountain even exceeded that of Mount Pinatubo, reaching 25km. The ash from Krakatau spread throughout the world, causing darkness for a year. Therefore, it is not surprising that the sound of this mountain's eruption could be heard as far as the African islands."

The most powerful eruption was reported to have occurred on 10 April at 7 in the morning with a magnitude of VEI 7. This mountain is famous for its eruption, which is four times larger than Krakatau. The ash spread into the air reaching a height of 50 km, and the lava released by this mountain can reach 50 to 150 cubic kilometers.

Yellowstone erupted for the last time 640,000 years ago. The eruption of this mountain is known as a supervolcano with the highest explosive power reaching VEI 8. The Yellowstone eruption caused extensive damage to life on Earth, surpassing the impact of other volcanoes.

What is more frightening, Yellowstone is capable of spewing out lava, dust, rocks, and other materials such as sulfur as much as 2,450 cubic kilometers. The height of the dust released by Yellowstone at that time reached 100km. More worrisome, scientists currently estimate that the possibility of Yellowstone erupting again is very high, followed by a eruption of lava as much as 500 cubic kilometers with a thickness of one meter.

"Even, future eruptions could surpass the power of Mount Toba, making it the second most devastating volcano in world history. The impact in the future could be far worse, even capable of causing the United States to disappear from the world map."

The eruption that occurred 73,000 years ago resulted in almost 60 percent of the Earth's species dying. Not only that, the global temperature also experienced a change of 5 degrees Celsius, and the world became dark for 6 years.
