It's the 21st century!

I decided not to post much after my big eruption because I was so busy cleaning up my place. Now, you are all born and you can learn about my super amazing history by viewing the lower portions of my blog. This will be my last post until maybe another eruption, but that won't be soon. Remember, Mount Tambora owns you!

Ha! My eruption gushed out so much ash that they call this year the "year without a summer." A lot of crops in North America and Europe failed do to the low temperatures and the blocked sun. See, I'm more powerful than people think. So, it looks like the coldest winter I ever had was a summer in North America and Europe in 1816. Take that, Mark Twain.

Woah!

Today was really amazing. I just owned a bunch of noobs! Practically the entire world has been affected by- my biggest eruption yet! It's 1815, and I am the biggest volcano in Indonesia. I puffed out a bunch of smoke, and then I went BIG. The ash was enough to kill thousands, but the eruption itself killed more. In total, (I wasn't notified how much I killed), I think I killed around 50,000 to 90,000 people, incuding volcano impersonators. Take that, stupid world!

Sorry, no picture of my eruption. I guess everyone was too scared to look at me.

How I became

You probably don't know how I was made, so I'll give you the scoop. Sumbawa Island, my home, is surrounded by oceanic crust. The continental crust went above the oceanic, which went in the the subduction zone. Suddenly, lava magma spurt out from underground when the oceanic crust touched the super hot layers beneath. I was formed when this lava went out and I became a volcano. This happened about 56,500 years ago. Yeah, I'm an oldie.



Here's an animation to demonstrate the subduction:

The oceanic crust goes beneath the continental crust and shoots up lava. The black arrow points at where I am.

Happy New Millenium

Its the year 1000! Too bad you aren't alive yet.

Wow. A lot has happened in the past thousand years, and it is too bad you missed it. They sorta switched the time name. Instead of B.C., it's A.D. Cool. I erupted again, killing many more people. I love going on a killing rampage because it's so satisfying. You're sure you killed everything you hate (which is everything for me), and anything you like ( I have none), you don't care. I'll keeep you updated.

P.S. Here's a picture of my eruption:

It's black and white. Too much primitive technology in the 8th century.

Sorry I haven't posted in a couple hundred years. Too busy shooting monkeys/volcano impersonators. I thought about posting today because I had my second eruption. It was even more fun, because I think I took down a hundred acres of land extinguishing anything in my path. Anyone who comes near me will have a fatal result.
