5 Worst Natural Phenomenon, Almost Made Doomsday On Earth
- Daily Mail
Adapted from the Smithsonian Mag page, the ejected volcanic material coats the atmosphere and various places for several months. The impact of the explosion was felt in America, Europe, and almost all over the world.
Because of this incident, the Earth experienced a decrease in temperature, there was no summer for the subtropics, and so on.
4. Supernova Explosion

The evidence that has been gathered by experts in the last 10 years shows that the Earth was almost hit by a supernova radiation. It's hard to know for sure, but it probably happened within the last 10 million years. Supernova radiation is a very energetic explosion from a large, massive star.
This star is at a certain point in its life cycle cause the collapse of the gravitational core. While the impact, according to Ranker, most likely the ozone layer will evaporate because of it. Then it will culminate in a mass extinction incident.

It is estimated that around 74,000 years ago, Earth had a dark time due to the eruption of Mount Toba in Sumatra. The NPR page said that at that time Mount Toba released 2,800 cubic kilometers of rock and material.
In fact, the dust left behind has a thickness of 6 centimeters. Meanwhile, according to the Volcanic Explosivity Index, this eruption has a power two times greater than the events that occurred at Mount Tambora.
While the impact of this eruption is to make the Sun seem dimmed for six years, the rainfall is uncertain, and the Earth's temperature decreases.
