“Volcanoes can be devastating. It can destroy land

in many different ways. One example is the

submarine caldera called Kuwae. A huge island was

once connected that is now two. A huge eruption

happened collapsing the land in the middle

underwater. The collapse associated with caldera

formation may have been as much as 1,100 meters.

Around 32–39 cubic km of magma was erupted,

making the Kuwae eruption one of the largest in the

past 10,000 years.”
