About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of the 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora on geological features and sedimentary layers.

The 1815 eruption of Mt. Tambora illustrates how geological catastrophes can create massive changes and sedimentary layers in a very short time. Such events show that the earth's features can be formed by rapid processes rather than just slow, uniform changes. Image: Mt Tambora Indonesia, Jialiang Gao, CC BY-SA 3.0, Wikimedia Commons.
