People died from lack of food; economies were ruined.
Some notes;
1, volcanic eruptions , along with earthquakes and tsunamis, are caused by earth’s tectonic plate shifting; the thinner plate goes under the thicker one.
2.The volcano in Central America was Ilopango.
3.The volcano in Iceland was Eyjafjallajokull.
4, the Halley’s Comet’s fragment causing more dust was considered the harbinger of doom.
