Wind blown volcanic ash which has spread to half of the Earth, from China to South Africa. Eruptive for 1 week and pebbles while letting the ashes were reaching 10 miles above sea level.
This incident causes mass death and in some species also followed the extinction. According to some DNA evidence, the eruption has also shrunk the number of humans up to about 60% of the total human population of the Earth, which is about 60 million people. The eruption that also led to the onset of the last ice age, though experts are still memperdebatkannya.
After the eruption, the caldera was formed by water and then filled into what is now known as Lake Toba. Pressure by magma that hasn't come out led to the island Samosir.
International multidisciplinary team of researchers, led by Dr. Michael Petraglia, revealed in a press conference in Oxford, the United States that has found a new archaeological sites which are quite spectacular by the geologist in South and North India.
