Mount Tambora Eruption?

 

[Ramjet]

Tambora ejected 160 cubic km of material. That's astounding.

 

[Cody1382]

320 (N)VOLCANO ERUPTION, TAMBORA INDONESIA,1815, EJECTED 36 CUBIC MILES.APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO 14,000 MEGATON NUCLEAR BOMBS OR A 14 GIGATON BOMB BASED ON EJECTED VOLUME,CHANGE IN MEGATONS TIMES 1.345 EQUALS VOLUME EJECTED CHANGE.IF WAS A NUCLEAR BOMB IT WOULD CREATE A CRATER ABOUT 12.4 MILES WIDE AND 1.33 MILES DEEP.INTERNAL PRESSURE IS BELIEVED TO BE ABOUT 47 MILLION P.S.I. = 347 DB

 

[Ramjet]

Krakatoa hear 3000 miles away, Tambora 2000 miles.

 

[Cody1382]

Dunno. Maybe location. Duration. Communication at the time.
Funny how these things pan out.

 

[Ramjet]

Also proves ya can't trust the internet.

Where were the oldest red blood cells found?

 

[loamer]

Otzi the iceman

(and thats not counting my ex-mother in law - the old battleaxe)

 

[Cody1382]

Myllokunmingia the first vertebrate with what they belive to of had red blood cells or old
Otzi the ice man they found in the alps back in '91.
Dudes 5,300 years old. And the oldest intact red blood cells found to date.

 

[Ramjet]

Loamer gets it. Otzi the ice man. What a cool dude.

 

[loamer]

It happened in 1927. It was invented by a bloke with the first name Otto. We now take it for granted. They are everywhere. There is even a saying about it. The thing actually did two things.

 

[Ramjet]

Otto Frederick Rohwedder (July 7, 1880 November 8, 1960) was an American inventor and engineer who created the first automatic bread-slicing machine for commercial use.

That answer was better than...... . Over to you. (update on yesterday's detect when I went out - 10 grams in 15 pieces. All very sharp and for the life of me I cannot find the source. have loamed til it stopped then about 100m in very direction. Just one of those things I guess. ran the Nugget Finder)

The automatic commercial bread slicer was invented in 1927 by Otto Frederick Rohwedder from Iowa, USA

Opps sorry I forgot to refresh before I posted my answer

10 grams, nice. I'm going panning for the first time soonish.

When did Voyager 1 leave our solar system?

 

[Cody1382]

On Aug. 25, 2012, the probe recorded a 1,000-fold drop in the number of charged solar particles while also measuring a 9 percent increase in fast-moving galactic cosmic rays, which originate beyond the solar system.

"These results, and comparison with previous heliospheric radio measurements, strongly support the view that Voyager 1 crossed the heliopause into the interstellar plasma on or about Aug. 25, 2012," Gurnett and his colleagues write in the new study.

 

[Ramjet]

Yes. Interesting it took a year to verify.

 

[Cody1382]

What was known as the trail of tears?

 

[Ramjet]

The Trail of Tears is a name given to the forced relocation and movement of Native American nations from southeastern parts of the United States following the Indian Removal Act of 1830
