Who's winning: Volcano or Hurricane?

No votes yet — be the first to weigh in on Volcano vs Hurricane.

A volcanic eruption can hurl molten rock hotter than 1,000°C and, like Krakatoa in 1883, release energy equal to hundreds of megatons of TNT. A mature hurricane is even more staggering over time, releasing heat energy comparable to roughly 200 times the world's entire electricity output each day. Fire from below versus fury from above.
