Interesantno je da je Mt Pinatubo na Filipinima bio 'samo' dva puta slabiji od Krakataua po kolicini izbacene materije.
A evo sto kaze za klimatske utjecaje:
During the three giant caldera-forming eruptions that occurred between 2.1 million and 640,000 years ago, tiny particles of volcanic debris (volcanic ash) covered much of the western half of North America, likely a third of a meter deep several hundred kilometers from Yellowstone and several centimeters thick farther away (Figure 3). Wind carried sulfur aerosol and the lightest ash particles around the planet and likely caused a notable decrease in temperatures around the globe.
Dakle, na nekoliko stotina kilometara udaljenosti imas 30-ak cm debeli sloj pepela. Nije bas dobro za poljoprivredu
A dobro je i ovo:
The three caldera-forming eruptions, respectively, were about 2,500, 280, and 1,000 times larger than the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State. Together, the three catastrophic eruptions expelled enough ash and lava to fill the Grand Canyon.
