What's the largest eruption in the last 300 years?

Question

This was a triva qustion I saw, but I didn't get the answerr

Answer 1

Many will think it's Krakatoa, but it's actually Tambora in 1815.

Answer 2

Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines erupted on June 15, 1991. Spewing 20 million tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, Pinatubo’s eruption had the largest atmospheric impact of any volcano in the 20th century. Over the past decade, atmospheric scientists have used Pinatubo to explore the profound effects volcanic eruptions can have on Earth’s climate system.

It is the best volcanic test of the past century, because, at least in calculations, it is the largest volcanic forcing since Krakatau in 1883, and the aerosol properties were observed much better than those of any other large volcano,

Answer 3

Tambora in 1815 was enormous 50 cubic km to 150 cubic km of ash and debris release

Answer 4

Krakatoa in 1883.

Answer 5

1st place goes to Tambora -- displaced 100's of cubic kilometers of material

2nd place to Krakatau -- displaced 10's of cubic kilometers of material

Answer 6

On earth: Here it is:
