Behind the Beautiful Lake Toba
Lake Toba Born from the Most Powerful Eruption, Makes Earth 'Stop' For Six Years
Referring to its origin, Lake Toba itself is actually also created through a tragedy in the form of a terrible superhuman (supereruption) from Mount Toba.
A tragedy that could make time on Earth seemed to stop for six years.
Human migration is hampered by stagnant human populations.
How did it happen? Like what terrible eruption of Mount Toba which then gave birth to Lake Toba?
Check out his description in the article titled "Behind the Beautiful Lake Toba" following.
Toba is like a small Indonesia. He displays irony about the beautiful scenery, the source of water and life, but at the same time keeps the history and deadly threats.
Lake Toba, which is actually a gigantic volcano caldera once erupted so strongly that change the climate of the world and almost finish the human race.
Far behind the Lake Toba gaze stretched out in North Sumatra, an enormous destructive force is hidden in it.
Around 74,000 years ago, Mount Toba erupted greatly (supereruption), sending a giant hot cloud covering almost the entire east end to the west of Sumatra Island.
Millions of cubic ash spewed up, covering the Indian Ocean to the Arabian Sea and parts of the Pacific Ocean.
The released sulfuric acidic aosols then spread to the atmosphere and covered the earth until it created total darkness for six years.
The temperature of the earth cools to 5 degrees Celsius. The global winter is created by volcanic winter.
Photosynthesis stalled. Dying plants, game animals thinned out.
Homo sapiens, the ancestor of modern humans, is at its nadir, with only about 3,000 lives.
Human migrations are halted and they are isolated in Africa, as recorded in the genetic similarities of modern humans around the world.
This period is known as the congestion of the modern human population or population bottlenecks.
Being at the highest volcanic eruption index (VEI), Toba is a super volcano (supervolcano), the eruption being the strongest in the last two million years.
Although volcanic eruptions, now, are not entirely geological shocks and the research on this has grown considerably.
Therefore, Toba formed from a combination of the process of vulkano-tectonics is actually a repository of geological and volcanic science at once, which is challenging to be examined further.
Toba also attracted the attention of world climate experts, because of the impact of the eruption that had cooled the temperature of the earth.
It also attracts anthropologists, archaeologists, and geneticists of their impact on the development and migration of modern humans.
