Several volcanoes in the past are suspected to have resulted in a year or two, or even more, of dramatic global cooling. There have been a few years following volcanic eruptions described as years "without summer", with snow in New England in July.
I wonder if this eruption could have that impact?
Interesting. Thanks for the info.BAP Enthusiast said:Jabin said:

This one was supposedly bigger than Pinatubo in 1991, which lowered temps by 1 degree for a year so it's highly likely it will. It's not as large as Krakatoa or Tambora though.

Is this an underwater volcano or no?
but yes, it is underwater.C@LAg said:yes.Ag_07 said:

Fascinating depiction of the pressure wave associated with the Tonga eruption as it moved across the US today.

Partially. The cone has been partly above water since a 2014 eruption, but there are evidently four underwater vents on the side of the volcano. They are saying the explosion came from one of the underwater vents.Ag_07 said:

I pity the poor sucker who was there monitoring the vents. He or she must have been awfully quick with their phone to report that.Quote:

It would seem like in this day a d age we could tell whether or not a tsunami was going to form or not.WolfCall said:
Amazing the impact this can have across the ocean ....
but volcano eruptions are a net cooling effect.doubledog said:DrEvazanPhD said:
And that one eruption probably pumped more co2 into the atmosphere than we've "saved" through 20 years of "green policies"

You beat me to the post!
There are way too many factors to be able to predict that. Has a lot to do with the seismic wave, tide, bathymetry, geomorphology. Most of the time, they really don't have a good idea of the subsurface disturbance until after and that has a huge influence on direction and severity. Think of the side of Mt Saint Helens caving in fairly deep underwater. That is a very focused direction and impact versus a fairly shallow eruption that is mostly vertical.B-1 83 said:It would seem like in this day a d age we could tell whether or not a tsunami was going to form or not.WolfCall said:

This. Instead of spending possible trillions on trying to "stop" climate change, we should be spending it on preparing for its aftermath.Todd 02 said:

Stopping climate change is like trying to stop a volcano from erupting or the wind from blowing.

I'm sure this will be spun as something we contributed to.

Interesting thought. It is time lapse of course. That shock wave remained visible for a radius of over 1500 miles, which would probably take 1-2 hours? But the scary thing is, wouldnt a shockwave visible from space do severe damage to manmade structures for most if not all of its visible radius? I guess the world can count itself pretty lucky it went off in one of the most remote places on earth, and hope its done.
And lol-'declared dormant on tuesday'. Ygbkm
How much did it being an underwater volcano dampen the blast?
