The possible effects if the Apolaki Caldera suddenly reactivated and exploded with more violence than any other volcano ever.
Today, I just found out that there is this "mega-caldera" in the Philippine Sea that is called the Apolaki Caldera and is over 150 km in diameter, which is over twice the size of the Yellowstone Caldera which is 70 km at its widest point, which is unbelievably huge, and a huge discovery for me, even though the Apolaki Caldera was discovered back in 2019, I just didn't noticed until now. ^_^'
Now to the main topic, most of us have a good idea what would happen if Yellowstone erupted today, it could cause the deaths of millions in the US and many millions more around the world due to ash and sulphur blocking sunlight, resulting in drastic global temperature drops, and possibly extinctions of many species.
But what do YOU guys think would happen if the Apolaki Caldera suddenly reactivated and actually erupted with an EXPONENTIALLY greater force than ANY other volcano in Earth's history EVER did?
And since the Apolaki Caldera is underwater, I'd imagine that if it exploded with EXPONENTIALLY greater force than any volcano in Earth's history ever did, it could create mega-tsunamis at least mile or two high, moving 1000 mph, which is big enough to bury large portions of Earth's land underwater for a time, but that could just be my guess. =D
