Lake Toba - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The eruption occurred at what is now Lake Toba on the island of Sumatra about 715,000 ± 4000 years ago. Lake Toba is a large lake, 100 km long and 30 km wide, in the middle of the northern part of the Indonesian island of Sumatra, stretching from 2.88° N 98.52° E to 2.35° N 99.1° E. In 1949 the Dutch geologist Rein van Bemmelen reported that Lake Toba was surrounded by a layer of ignimbrite rocks, and was a large volcanic caldera. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Lake_Toba   (777 words)

Toba Toba, perhaps as a result of the controversy concerning Sutoku's true father, and perhaps because he was originally forced to abdicate in favor of Sutoku, did not have a good relationship with his son. Whoever was the father or the prince, Toba was forced to abdicate by the In in favor of the five year old Sutoku. It was 1129, the year of Shirakawa's death, before Toba was able to exercise the influence that he must have been hoping to enjoy after his abdication. instruct1.cit.cornell.edu /Courses/asian490/tml5/Bios/toba.htm   (522 words)

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Toba Indians In 1756 a number of Toba and Mataco were gathered into the Mission of San Ignacio de Ledesma, on the Rio Grande tributary of the Vermejo, where they numbered 600 souls at the time of the expulsion of the Jesuits in 1767. In the early colonization period of the eighteenth century the Toba, with the Abipón and Mocoví, were among the most determined and constant enemies of the Argentine-Paraguayan settlements and missions, and hardly a half year ever passed without a raid or retaliatory punitive expedition. On one occasion six hundred Toba attacked Dobrizhoffer's mission, but were repelled by the missionary himself single-handed with the aid of his firearms, of which the savages were in deadly terror. www.newadvent.org /cathen/14749b.htm   (624 words)

Geology of the Toba Caldera Complex Toba is situated on a broad region of uplifted continental crust (the "Batak Tumour") in the Barisan Mountains of Sumatra. Most volcanic centers in this portion of the Sunda arc are located close to the GSF, although Toba and nearby volcanoes are offset to its east. Following a period of andesitic volcanism, three large-volume rhyolite ash flows, all mineralogically the same (qz, pl, ksp, amph, bio), were erupted from Toba in the past 0.8 Ma: www.rpi.edu /~warkd/toba/toba_geology.html   (221 words)

Toba Volcano, ch. 1 - Introduction When Toba volcano in western Sumatra erupted 73,000 +/- 4000 years ago it was (and still is) the largest vocanic cataclysm to have taken place on planet earth for the last 28 million years. Toba is not shown since it has not been active since 1900. Therefore, the last Toba eruption (also called the YTT event, see chapter 3 below) is of enormous scientific and general interest. www.andaman.org /book/app-r/textr.htm   (559 words)

Victory News Magazine The Volcano That May Destroy Mankind "He also suspects that Toba's super-eruption was responsible for the population crash of 70,000 years ago, when the number of people fell to no more than 10,000", the magazine added. The Young Toba Tuff was erupted from ring fractures that surround most or all of the present-day lake. According to Rampino's research, Toba blasted a crater 100 kms long and sent 3 billion tonnes of sulphur dioxide into the atmosphere and a dense volcanic cloud around the globe. www.victorynewsmagazine.com /TheVolcanoThatMayDestroyMankind.htm   (1042 words)

Toba Home Page ...variously referred to as the Toba caldera, the Toba volcanotectonic depression, the Toba caldera complex, or simply Lake Toba, this huge volcanic center was the source of one of the world's largest known eruptions. The source of this huge eruption was the 100 x 30 km, oval-shaped Toba "depression" - a chunk of land that dropped downward when partly molten rock was evacuated from the underlying magma system. Often referred to as Earth's largest caldera, Toba is now filled by a lake of the same name. www.rpi.edu /~warkd/toba/toba.html   (213 words)

March Resources @ National Geographic Magazine Toba appears to have ejected some 670 cubic miles (2,790 cubic kilometers) of material, as much as 560 times the amount produced by Mount Pinatubo in 1991. Eruptions that leave calderas this big don't happen often (Toba seems to be on a 400,000-year cycle, give or take a hundred thousand or so), but when they do, the effects can be global. The ash and gas from Toba reached 30 miles (50 kilometers) into the stratosphere and shrouded the entire planet. magma.nationalgeographic.com /ngm/0503/resources_who.html   (543 words)

Installing Toba The Toba classfile translator is small and builds quickly; most of the time is spent translating and compiling the Java application library (API), the compiler (javac) and the AWT (BISS). Toba must be built from the cygwin shell; it will not properly build from the MS/DOS command interpreter. It may be desirable to install the Toba "binaries" somewhere other than the directory in which they were built. www.cis.ksu.edu /VirtualHelp/Info/Toba/install.html   (714 words)

Danau Toba - Promoting Bali The resorts, with their bookshops, bars and magic mushroom omelettes (illegal but ubiquitous), make Danau Toba the perfect spot to chill out after the rigours of travel in Sumatra. It was formed about eighty thousand years ago by a colossal volcanic eruption: the caldera which was created eventually buckled under the pressure and collapsed in on itself, the high-sided basin that remained filling with water to form the lake. This island, Samosir, is the cultural and spiritual heartland of the Toba Batak and the favoured destination for foreign travellers. www.promotingbali.com /beyond-bali/sumatra/danau-toba   (227 words)

Lake Toba Volcano - John Seach The eruption of Toba in 72 000 BC was one of the largest in the last few hundred thousand years.

Casner to Take Over as Chairman of TOBA - bloodhorse.com TOBA's American Graded Stakes Committee was expanded by two seats--one from TOBA and one from a racetrack. Biszantz also talked about the Thoroughbred Championship Tour, a TOBA initiative to bridge the gap between the Triple Crown and Breeders' Cup World Thoroughbred Championships with a series of races to be televised and heavily promoted in an effort to increase racing's popularity during the summer and fall months. Gay Fisher, TOBA's director of communications and marketing, said the past year has been the most successful one yet for The Greatest Game, an ownership recruitment program she said brought 25 new owners into racing or breeding in the past 12 months. news.bloodhorse.com /viewstory.asp?id=29466   (496 words)

58) The centre of the Batak culture at Lake Toba Lake Toba is the largest inland water body of Southeast Asia, it is 87km long and 31km across at its widest point and Klaudia estimated it to be 10 times the size of here native Wörthersee, which already appears large to her. Lake Toba is a beautiful region with cool climate (not too cool, though, to be pleasant and to swim), which we had enjoyed in spite of the daily rainfall. The fact that Lake Toba’s water is quite warm despite its depth (up to 529m) leads one to assume that there must be some hot underwater, which is not out of place in a region studded with volcanoes. www.travelblog.org /Asia/Indonesia/Sumatra/Lake-Toba/blog-18916.html   (2927 words)

Oceanographers investigate link between Ice Age, volcanic eruptions The most recent Toba eruption (75,000 years ago) has been proposed as a triggering mechanism for the onset of large-scale glaciation, which brought the last interglacial stage to its end. The results of their analysis indicate that the glass shards from the first Toba eruption 788,000 years ago were dispersed more than 2,000 miles from the source. The coincidence of the oldest Toba eruption with the transition from a glacial stage to an interglacial stage, however, appears to be an opposite effect. advance.uri.edu /pacer/march2004/story23.htm   (564 words)

WALHI - Indonesian Heroes of the Earth from Toba Samosir The elderly woman is just one out of tens of thousands of villagers in Toba Samosir Municipality, North Sumatra province, who have been struggling for 17 years to close down PT Indorayon, a pulp and paper mill, which is guilty of human rights abuses and years of severe environmental destruction. At noon, Tuesday, April 29, 2003, around 400 women from villages in Porsea District within the Toba Samosir Municipality, gathered in the middle of the road in front of the entrance to the pulp and paper mill, PT Toba Pulp Lestari -- as the company formerly named PT Inti Indorayon Utama is currently calling itself. Since 1986, PT Indorayon has opened up roads, taken over and cleared community lands for planting eucalypts for pulping, opened up a large chemical mill operation in Porsea District, dumped toxic waste into the river sytems and into Lake Toba, one of the largest lakes in the world. www.eng.walhi.or.id /kampanye/cemar/industri/hero_earth_cs   (2045 words)

Discovery Channel :: Supervolcano About 74,000 years ago, Toba erupted and ejected almost three times as much volcanic ash as the most recent major Yellowstone eruption (Lava Creek, 630,000 years ago) and about 12 percent more than Yellowstone's largest eruption (Huckleberry Ridge, 1.8 million years ago). Some researchers suspect that Toba's super eruption and the global cold spell it triggered might explain a mystery in the human genome. The 1,080-square-mile Toba caldera is the only supervolcano in existence that can be described as Yellowstone's "big" sister. dsc.discovery.com /convergence/supervolcano/others/others_02.html   (169 words)

SUPER VOLCANO The eruption of 2,800 cubic km of magma at Toba caldera 75,000 years ago was the largest eruption in the last 2 million years. The Toba eruption may have caused about 3 to 4 degree C cooling at the surface but this impact is hard to detect because of concurrent glacial conditions (Sigurdsson, 1990). Its aftereffect should exceed Toba's in loss of human life, and because of the potential for global entrance into the next glaciation, severe temperature declines may persist for centuries. zyx.org /TOBA.html   (200 words)
