What was the worst eruption of the taal Philippine s volcano?
there is a debate whether it was the 1754 eruption OR the 1911 eruption
Is krakatau active or dormant?
As scary as it seems, no! Krakatoa actually reformed after an island destroying eruption in 1883. Now Krakatoa is back and has erupted visibly, (not underwater) periodically between around the 1930's to 2007. Thankfully these eruptions were small and any major eruption like that in 1883 will likely occur in hundreds of years.
When was the Krakatoa volcano formed?
Volcanic activity did not stop after the island of Krakatoa collapsed in the cataclysmic eruption of 1883. Lava and ash started spewing from a new underwater vent. The new rock accumulated on the ocean floor until a new island emerged where Krakatoa once stood. The island continues to grow as eruptions add new material.
What is the latitude and longitude of the Krakatoa volcano?
Krakatoa (or Krakatau) is an island group near 6.1°S 105.4°E, in the Sunda Strait NE of Java. *Of the three volcanoes that formed Krakatoa, only the largest one, Rakata, still exists. The others were destroyed in the eruption of August 27, 1883. But a new volcanic cone formed beginning in 1927 in the central lagoon, and last erupted in 2008.
Is Krakatoa dangerous?
Krakatoa has many hazards because it is a subduction volcano. Lava flow is of course a hazard for the area surrounding the volcano but hazards for areas further away include volcanic gases which produce acid rain and there can be volcanic debris that has the ability to travel quite far from the source. Other hazards can include ground cracks and tsunamis due to the sheer strength a volcanic eruption can expel.

What is the worst tsunami to occur?
The worst tsunami was likely one caused by the eruption of the volcanic island of Thera in the Mediterranean in the 1600's BC. The resulting tsunami is believed to have wiped out the Minoan civilization. Another contender is the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami with a death toll of over 220,000.
How long did mount pelee erupt for in 1902?
The eruption in 1902 lasted till 1905.
What country is Krakatoa located?
Indonesia (6°6′27″S and 105°25′3″E)
How can the composition of magma affect the way volcano erupts?
If the composition of the magma is high in silica, the eruption will be explosive. The Eruption of Mt. St. Helens was an explosive eruption. If the composition of the magma is low in silica, it will produce a quiet eruption. The eruption(s) of Mt. Kilauea are quiet eruptions.
Mount etnas last eruption?

What volcano would cause the most damage if it erupted?
None in living memory would come close to the Yellowstone volcano. Yellowstone erupts roughly every 600,000 years (the last occasion being 640,000 years ago, so it's overdue!). Estimates have suggested the next one could be 2,500 times the size of the Mt St Helen's eruption in 1980 - so keep your head down if you're unlucky enough to be in the vicinity. Then again, if Yellowstone blows like it did 2.1 million years ago it could deposit 600 cubic miles of stuff on America (compared to the 0.24 cubic miles St Helens put out). That would bury most of America metres deep and kill around tw-thirds of the population. Eventual ramifications for the world would be equally catastrophic. An equally large Super Volcano under Lake Toba wiped out most of the human race 73,000 years ago and is said to have affected the generic inheritance of all humans today
What Is The Timeline Of Eruptions Of Mount Shasta?
Last eruption was in the 1920's.
