The Mystery of Toba Lake

The Toba lake was a volcanic lake with the long measurement 100 kilometre and wide 30 kilometre in North Sumatra, Sumatra, Indonesia. In the middle of this lake was gotten a volcanic island was named the Samosir Island. The Toba lake had since long before become the area of the aim of the important tour in North Sumatra apart from the Lawang Hill and Nias, attracted domestic tourists and foreign countries.

Estimated the Toba Lake happened during the explosion around 73,000-75,000 last year and was the eruption supervolcano (the volcano super) that was newest. Bill Rose and Craig Chesner from Michigan Technological University estimated that volcanic materials that were spewed out the mountain totalling 2800km3, with 800km3 the rock ignimbrit and 2000km3 volcanic ash that was estimated was blown the wind to the west for 2 weeks. Volcanic dust that was blown the wind spread to half earths, from China as far as South Africa. His eruption happened for 1 week and his dust throw reached 10 KM on sea level.

This incident caused the mass death and to several species also was followed by the extinction. According to some DNA proof, this eruption also menyusutkan the amount of humankind until approximately 60% from the number of populations of earth humankind at that time that is approximately 60 million humans. The same eruption took part in causing the occurrence of the ice time, although the experts were still debating the matter. After this eruption, was formed the caldera that afterwards was filled by water and to that now is known as the Toba Lake. The pressure above by magma that did not yet go out caused the Samosir Island emergence.

The expert in geology indeed still is quick-selling. Yesterday Professor's turn of Ray Cas from Shool of Geosciences in Monash University that spoke. He said, Indonesia was risky experienced the extraordinary eruption and and very much maha-horrifying that will break the record of the earthquake last December in Aceh and last Monday in Nias. And that will explode was... The Toba lake... one of the biggest volcanoes in the world. Toba, said Cas, the last time exploded around 73 thousand years set. His eruption was very extraordinary so as to change the climate of the world at that time. His eruption mengibatkan dust rain and the stone through to 1.000 cubic kilometre to the atmosphere. As a result, the sun rays so terhalang entered the earth and caused the earth seem like back to the ice time, said Professor Cas.

Letusann 'yes only could ditandingin by asteroid the giant who bashed the earth', more cas, appeared to remind us of the Armagedon film that was starred in by Bruce Willis. Toba could like that because, same as being considered to be Professor Mac Clousky when speaking would the arrival of the earthquake that defended two Banda Aceh, because beneath it had the route of the earthquake fracture that was concrete like the Sumatran diameter. When the eruption maha horrifying that will happen? That was certain, he will happen. Possibly less than 50 years, or possibly 1,000 years more. The main thing is, he will explode, answered Cas.
