Map of notable volcanic eruptions: Image title: Map of notable volcanic eruptions by CMG Lee. The apparent volume of each bubbles is linearly proportional to the volume of tephra ejected (i.e. their radius is linearly proportional to the cube root of the volume of tephra ejected), colour-coded by time of eruption as in the legend.
Some eruptions cooled the global climate—inducing a volcanic winter—depending on the amount of sulfur dioxide emitted and the magnitude of the eruption. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Before the present Holocene epoch, the criteria are less strict because of scarce data availability, partly since later eruptions have destroyed the evidence.
