Mount Tambora is a volcanic mountain on the northern coast of Sumbawa Island, Indonesia, that in April 1815 exploded in the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history. It is now 2,851 meters high, having lost much of its top in the 1815 eruption. The volcano remains active; smaller eruptions took place in 1880 and 1967, and episodes of increased seismic activity occurred in 2011, 2012, and 2013.
Tambora’s catastrophic eruption began on April 5, 1815, with small tremors and pyroclastic flows. A shattering blast blew the mountain apart on the evening of April 10. The blast, pyroclastic flows, and tsunamis that followed killed at least 10,000 islanders and destroyed the homes of 35,000 more. Before its eruption Mount Tambora was about 4,300 meters high. After the eruption ended, a volcanic crater spanning some 6 km across remained. The explosion was heard on Sumatra Island, more than 2,000 kilometers away.
Many volcanologists regard the Mount Tambora eruption as the largest and most-destructive volcanic event in recorded history, expelling as much as 150 cubic km of ash, pumice and other rock, and aerosols into the atmosphere. As those materials mixed with atmospheric gases, they prevented substantial amounts of sunlight from reaching Earth’s surface, eventually reducing the average global temperature by up to 3 °C.
The immediate effects were most profound on Sumbawa and surrounding islands. Some 80,000 people perished from disease and famine since crops could not grow. The island’s entire vegetation was destroyed as uprooted trees, mixed with pumice ash, washed into the sea. Explosions ceased on 15 July, although smoke emissions were still observed as late as 23 August. Flames and rumbling aftershocks were reported in August 1819, four years after the event.
In 1816, parts of the world as far away as western Europe and eastern North America experienced sporadic periods of heavy snow and killing frost through June, July, and August. Such cold weather events led to crop failures and starvation in those regions, and the year 1816 was called the “year without a summer.”

2. The writer mentions the years 1880 and 1967 in the first paragraph as-

3. In the second paragraph, the writer talks about the height of the mountain, the size of the crater, and the distance of sound travelled to show –
