Eruption Size

edit

Ok first off Huckleberry Ridge isn't even the largest eruption in the last 2.5 million years never mind the last 30 Million years. First is Toba at 2800 Cubic Km which was 74,000 years ago. Then there was La Garita 26 Million years ago which was around twice the size of Huckleberry Ridge at 5000 Cubic km. So don't put this in without looking through all supervolcano related articles first. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.221.216 (talk) 21:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

I think it depends on whose estimates for volume you use. Lar Grarita has been revised downwards in recent years. But you should provide a reference for your claims. Also, I am sure if you go far back enough in geological time, the eruptions will get larger and larger. It may not be very usful to compare erruptions of the last few million year to those of 30 million years ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Metrodyne (talkcontribs) 00:26, 19 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
The size statements in this article ought to be consistent with the other articles on supervolcano events. The list of largest volcanic eruptions lists several larger than the huckleberry ridge.174.51.110.214 (talk) 22:21, 20 May 2011 (UTC)Reply
