Confidence votes 252. Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure which is exerted on a portion of a column of water as a result of the weight of the fluid above it. Hydrostatic pressure is what is exerted by a liquid when it is at rest.The height of a liquid column of uniform density is directly proportional to the hydrostatic pressure. The hydrostatic properties of a liquid are not constant and the main factors influencing it are the density of the liquid and the local gravity.he height of a liquid column of uniform density is directly proportional to the hydrostatic pressure.

This eruption was the biggest eruption in recorded history. Geography. Tambora is a stratovolcano located on the island of Sumbawa in Indonesia (see map below), forming the Sanggar peninsula of the island. The island is part of a very active volcanic arc, which is part of the Ring of Fire around the Pacific Ocean. Map Courtesy of United States Geological Survey. Public Domain.
On April 10, 1815, Mount Tambora sent so much crud into the atmosphere that it blocked the sun. What became known as the Year Without a Summer came a year later, in 1816. April 10, 1815. Mount Tambora began a large volcanic eruption on this date.This volcano â on Sumbawa Island, east of Java in what is today Indonesia â ultimately dumped an estimated 160 cubic kilometers (38 cubic miles) of melted rock and ash onto the surrounding countryside and into the air.By some estimates, it was the largest volcanic eruption in recorded history.Tambora Volcano seen from the International Space Station in 2009.
