Question

Where is Mt. Tambora?​

Answer 1

• Mount Tambora, also known as Tomboro, is an active stratovolcano in West Nusa Tenggara, Sumbawa, Indonesia, which is part of the Indonesian Lesser Sunda Islands.
• The active subduction zones underneath it were responsible for its formation.
• It was one of the highest peaks in the Indonesian archipelago prior to its 1815 eruption, standing at more than 4,300 meters (14,100 ft).
• Tambora's eruption in 1815 was the greatest in human history and the largest in the Holocene (10,000 years ago to present).
• Previous eruptions had drained the magma chamber under Tambora, which had been dormant for ages until it was replenished.
• That year, volcanic activity peaked, resulting in a large-scale eruption.
