August 27th, 1883. Series of blasts on the Island of Krakatoa blew the island apart and was one of the largest eruptions in history. The hot gases and rock (Pyroclastic flows) consumed ships as far as 40 kilometers away. The eruption generated tsunamis as high as 40 meters high that devestated nearby Coastlines. The final death toll was 36,417. The sound of the final explosion was heard over 4,500 kilometer away and covered 1/13th of the Earth's surface.

When Krakatoa erupted, 70% of the island and its surrounding archipelago were destroyed. Over 36,000 people died., officially but some felt that the number was closer to 120,000. Tsunamis overturned ships as far away as South Africa. Weather patterns were disrupted for over five years because of the ash in the sky. Sunsets were redder than usual even in Norway and New York due to the ash.

Primary Effects:

  • Tsunami caused by the main blast.
  • Ash was pumped out of the volcano and rained down on nearby towns, killing many people.

These two are the 2 i can think of but im not sure if any magma reached people so im nto sure if magma is one but it might be.
