Best Answers

Every now and again Mount Tambora erupts. Its 1815 explosion was possibly the most destructive ever recorded. Tambora stood over 14,000 feet high in 1815, but when it blew its stack it hurled more than 4,000 feet off the top of it, leaving a crater more than four miles across and 2,000 feet deep. read more
