Thera Eruption is a catastrophic volcanic event classified as a geohistorical phenomenon, distinguished by the explosive collapse of the Late Bronze Age caldera on the island of Thera (Santorini), which significantly impacted the Minoan civilization through tsunamis, climatic disturbances, and regional destabilization.
