Volcanoes- a mountain or hill, typically conical, having a crater or vent through which lava, rock fragments, hot vapor, and gas are being or have been erupted from the earth's crust. In class I did the volcano in Indonesia named Mount Tambora Volcano. It was the biggest explosion from a volcano and also cause a tsunami with a wave height of 10 m. The question is; what caused such a great explosion? Was it an earthquake or was it just lava building up? The legend about this volcano is that there once was a village that lived next to the volcano in 1815. That was also the date for the huge explosion from the Tambora Volcano. When the Tambora volcano exploded and covered the village with lava and ash. It was discovered many years ago by scientists and geologists. This volcano caused many global effects by there being no summer for all of 1816. It affected the whole world by its explosion. The Tambora volcanic eruption was calculated to be the largest explosion since the first human existence.
