As for the supervolcanoes, in Oceania, scientists have discovered them in the New Zealand region of Taupo. Explosions of local supervolcanoes Protect Taupo took care of the disaster not only in the ocean region, but also in parts of Asia. Taupa exploded more than twenty-six thousand years ago and was the last similar explosion in the area. However, the eruption apparently extended the ice age by another ten thousand years.
Supervolcans can also be found in Europe. The supervolcano is closest to the Czech Republic Campi Flegrei. It is located near Naples, Italy. According to Nature magazine, it last erupted twenty-nine thousand years ago and covered the entire region with volcanic dust.
A few years ago, scientists also included the Central Siberian Plateau among the supervolcanoes. According to their findings, the explosion of the local supervolcano destroyed the ozone layer of the planet. According to the latest scientific knowledge, the eruption of the volcano in the area of today’s Siberian traps lasted a whole million years, practically destroying the planet’s ozone layer and exterminating 96 percent of all organisms in the seas and about 70 percent of terrestrial animals.
A total of twenty supervolcanoes or their explosions were recorded in the world, some of which took place repeatedly in the same areas.
