What did Krakatoa measure on the Richter scale?
Nothing. The Richter scale is used to measure the intensity of earthquakes, not volcanic eruptions. The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was a VEI 6 in the volcanic explosivity index.
What are the three largest and most destructive volcanic eruptions recorded in human history?
Krakatoa in 1883, Santa Maria in 1902, Novarupta 1912
What has happened since 1883 Krakatoa?
There was a big volcanic erruption.
How are the Tambora and Krakatau eruptions similar?
The 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora and the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa were the largest volcanic eruptions in human history. Both were extremely violent Ultra Plinian eruptions, which spew massive amounts of ash miles into the atmosphere. They were also caldera-forming eruptions, meaning that they drained so much magma from underground that they collapsed into the space left behind. The eruption of Krakatoa produced about 20 cubic kilometers of ash while the eruption of Mount Tambora produced about 160 cubic kilometers.

The world's largest volcanic explosion occurred in 1883 which country when the island of Krakatoa blew itself apart?
False. The island of Krakatoa was indeed destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption in 1883, but it did not plow itself apart, nor was it the largest volcanic eruption. When Krakatoa erupted, it blasted out so much magma, that it left an empty space in the magma chamber. This caused the volcano to collapse in on itself. Such an even is called a caldera forming eruption. The largest eruption of historic times was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. Other, prehistoric eruptions have been much larger.
