The eruption of Krakatoa.
In 1902, Mount Pelee produced one of the deadliest volcanic eruptions in human history. A pyroclastic surge from the eruption destroyed the city of St. Pierre, where more than 30,000 people burned to death. Scientists who observed the eruption gave the first scientific description of a pyroclastic flow. The manner in which this eruption occurred has been called Pelean.
There has never been an instance where a volcanic eruption has been prevented from occurring by human means.
For the 21st century, that would be Mount Merapi in Indonesia in 2010 so far.
it is KRAKATOA volcano which erupted in 1883! Pray this helps!!
No, but people have been able to predict when volcanic eruptions are going to happen for several years. Hope this was helpful :)
Krakatoa has erupted multiple times throughout its history. The most notable eruption occurred in 1883, which is considered one of the most powerful volcanic events in recorded history. Since then, there have been smaller eruptions and periods of increased volcanic activity on the Krakatoa islands.
The last volcanic eruption in the United Kingdom occurred about 55 million years ago during the Paleogene period. The eruption formed the Isle of Skye in Scotland. Since then, there have been no volcanic eruptions in the UK.
The Krakatoa eruption in 1883 is estimated to have been around 6 to 7 on the Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), which is used to measure the intensity of volcanic eruptions. The Richter scale, which measures the magnitude of earthquakes, is not typically used to measure volcanic eruptions.
0, no casulties has been reported.
His strong anger seemed like a volcanic eruption.The volcano's eruption caused the Summer That Never Was in 1815.Towns have been buried by lava and mudslides after an eruption.
There have been a couple of VEI 8 (Volcanic Explosive Index) volcanic events in NZ in history.Taupo, about 26 500 years ago erupted about 1000 cubic km of ash and debris.Whakamaru, in the same Taupo Volcanic field, erupted about 345 000 years ago and produced between 1200 and 2000 cubic km of material.In more recent times, cAD176, there was a large eruption from Taupo, and the resulting red skies are recorded in Roman and Chinese writings. About 30km3 was erupted, mainly ash.
