A volcano is a rupture or an opening in the surface of the earth that allows the ashes of the volcanoes, magma and other gaseous element to get away from the innermost surface or below it. Whenever there are tectonic plates which converge or diverge, volcanoes are also present. Volcanic eruption starts when the magma rises due to magma chamber that causes magma to move up in conduit and goes out on its vents. The type of volcanic eruption depends on the obstacles that influence it. Classification of volcanic activity affects how often the eruption occurs. Volcanoes which are active often erupts while dormant volcanoes are asleep which in due time will erupt and are very dangerous too, actually it’s more dangerous because sometimes the eruption is unpredictable. Volcanoes are very powerful which is why you need to know about earthquakes as it can also trigger the temblor especially the super volcano.
Krakatoa is a volcano located in the Sunda Strait (between the island of Java and Sumatra) indonesia. The volcano is very famous in the world because of the eruptions in 1883 referred to as one of the most devastating volcanic eruption of all time.Historical examples of eruptions of volcanoes are Krakatoa, Mt. Vesuvius and the recent eruption of Mount St. Helens but these are meager amount compared to the shocking facts of the first four months of earthquake struck and a super volcano eruption. The super volcano eruption is powerful ejecta which is more than 240 cubic miles which is thousands times bigger than any volcanic eruption in history. The super volcanoes may happen to erupt when the magma rises from the hotspot going to the crust. The pressure becomes greater until it forms a magma pool, then it will erupt when the crust can no longer hold the pressure. Super volcanoes may form from the convergent plate boundaries like the Toba and the hotspot found in the continent like the Yellowstone.
The six identified super volcanoes are Long Valley, Valles Caldera and Yellowstone, in US; North Sumatra, Lake Toba in Indonesia; North Island Taupo Volcano in New Zealand and the Kyūshū, Japan’s Aira Caldera in Kagoshima Prefecture also remind us of the sixth deadliest earthquake in history. The typical eruption of any of these super volcanoes can create a huge devastation while covering the place with volcanic ashes and lava as well as making great and long change in the weather just like the shortened ice age. Also, the super volcanic activity can threat the species extinction.
At present, these are not active in nature as they stay dormant. This is a great advantage for the people living near or in the locations of these active volcanoes but it creates a fear on the hearts and minds of the people for they know the great devastation is somewhat unpredictable. The powerful eruption when happen can easily die down the released energy of the biggest part of western nation’s nuclear weapon arsenal. Like the Krakatoa eruption, it can greatly drop the Earth’s temperature. One least event which was a proof of this was when after the Krakatoa eruption ending creating a whole year with no summer, the main cause of the Northern Hemisphere’s famine. People further fear for the super volcanic activity of the Yellowstone Caldera in 2012 prediction.

A great significance of the last time’s supervolcanic eruption was in Toba, Sumatra that was about 71, 000 years way back. It resulted to the blotted rays of the sun and nearly close to the human beings extinction which luckily there are still 5, 00 people became the survivors who propagate the human race after such a great destruction on earth.
