Tsunami and Eruption
The eruption generated a powerful tsunami that was felt across the Pacific, even causing damage in California and fatalities in Peru. Uniquely, this event combined both an undersea thrust and an atmospheric pressure wave, leading to a meteosunami phenomenon. Additionally, the eruption was detected by a global network monitoring for nuclear tests, marking it as the largest single event recorded since 1996, with potential implications for short-term climate cooling due to the release of sulfur dioxide and ash.In this clip
