It is estimated that Lake Toba explosion occurred at about 73000-75000 years ago and an eruption (super volcano) the most recent. Bill Rose and Craig Chesner from Michigan Technological University estimate that the volcanic materials spewed as much as 2800 km ³ of the mountain, with 800 km ³ of rock overlies and 2,000 km ³ expected volcanic ash blown into the west for 2 weeks. Volcanic dust in the wind has spread to half the earth, from China to South Africa. The explosion occurred during 1 week and throw the dust up to 10 km above sea level.
This incident caused mass death and the extinction of some species are also followed. According to some DNA evidence, this eruption also reduced the number of people to about 60% of the total human population of the earth at that time, which is about 60 million people. The eruption also caused the ice age, although experts still debate it.
After the eruption, the caldera formed which is then filled with water and became what is now known as Lake Toba. Pressure up by magma that has not come out cause the appearance of the island.
International multidisciplinary team of researchers, led by Dr. Michael Petraglia, revealed in a press conference in Oxford, the United States has found a new archaeological site that is quite spectacular by geologists in southern and northern India. The site was revealed how people survive, before and after volcanic eruptions (Supervolcano) Toba 74,000 years ago, and evidence of life under the ashes of Mount Toba. Though the source of the eruption within 3,000 miles, from the distribution of ashes.
For seven years, experts from the University oxford project researching the ecosystem in India, to look for evidence of life and equipment life they left behind in the barren desert. Area with an area of thousands of hectares of this was only the savanna (grasslands). While animal bones scattered. The team concluded, quite large area turned out covered with dust from ancient volcanic eruptions.
The spread of volcanic dust was very spacious, found almost all over the world. Derived from an ancient supervolcano eruption, namely Mount Toba. Alleged leads to Mount Toba, because it found evidence of volcanic ash forms of the same molecule at 2100 points. Since caldera crater that is now a lake Toba in Indonesia, 3,000 miles, from the source of the eruption. In fact, surprisingly enough, it turned out spread of dust to be recorded up to the North Pole. This is reminiscent of the experts, how powerful the super volcano Toba eruption that time. Evidence is found, strengthening the suspicion, that the strength of the eruption and the sea waves could wipe out life on Atlantis. (Wikipedia Indonesia)
