Did the world's loudest volcano blow up an island called Krakatoa?
Not exactly. The explosions generate by the eruption of Krakatoa were enormous, but the island itself was not blown up. The eruption ejected so much magma, that the island of Krakatoa collapsed into the space left behind.
How much land was destroyed during Krakatoa's 1883 eruption?
there hasn't been a eruption in 2008 yet.
How hot is Krakatoa's surface?
Much of Krakatoa's surface is the same temperature as any othe ground surface. During an eruption, the surface can be close to 2000 degrees where lava is present.
How much carbon dioxide did the Krakatoa eruption of 1883 emit?
On the scale that measures the size of explosive eruptions, the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was a VEI 6. It was about 20 times larger than the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens and the second largest eruption in recorded history. The largest was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora.
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.
Why in 1883 did much of island Krakatoa disappear into the sea?
Krakatoa was a volcanic island. In 1883 that volcano produced a colossal eruption. This eruption drained about 10 cubic kilometers of magma from the magma chamber. The island collapsed into the space left behind, forming a depression called a caldera.
All about mount karakatao?
Krakatoa is a volcanic island that is part of Indonesia. In 1883, three volcanic mountains that made up a single island erupted, destroying much of the island. The remains from that eruption are also known as Krakatoa.
How much land did the 1963 eruption of Agung cover?

How much did the 1815 Tambora eruption cost to repair?
it costed about 1.5 million to repair the damage of Krakatoa
How did the caldera on the volcanic island of Krakatau form?
It is a Strato Volcano.
