Letusan Minoa
Letusan Minoa di Thera, juga disebut letusan Thera atau letusan Santorini, adalah letusan gunung berapi (VEI = 6-7, DRE = 60 km3)[1] yang diperkirakan terjadi pada pertengahan milenium kedua SM.[2] Letusan ini merupakan salah satu peristiwa gunung berapi terbesar dalam sejarah manusia.[3] Letusan ini menghancurkan pulau Thera, termasuk peradaban Minoa dan Akrotiri dan juga komunitas dan wilayah agrikultur disekitar pulau dan pantai Kreta. Letusan ini merupakan salah satu penyebab runtuhnya peradaban Minoa.
