The main poducts of the gigantic Tambora Volcano (Sumbawa island, Indonesia) eruption were geologically pyroclastic deposits containing 67.5 cubic kilometers in magmatic material volume. The eruption had a counted release energy of 8.4 x 10 (26) erg causing 92,000 people killed. At Tambora area, the deposits are dominated by pyoclastic flow comparing to the pyroclatic airfall deposits with the …
