What hemisphere is Mount Vesuvius on?
Mount Vesuvius is located in the Northern Hemisphere in Naples,Italy.
Does Krakatoa have a son?
In a sense: continued eruptions at Krakatoa/Krakatau since 1927 have built a new island, called Anak Krakatau (child of Krakatoa).
Will Krakatoa ever explode again?
Yes. Krakatoa is a volcano prone to violent eruptions and it probably will erupt violently again. While it periodically has small eruptions,we might not see another one on the scale of the 1883 eruption for a few thousand years.
Was there a supervolcano eruption that killed over 36000?
No. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa did kill about 36,000 people. Although this eruptions was extremely large, Krakatoa is not a supervolcano.
How are Mount Vesuvius and Mount Krakatoa similar?
Both Krakatoa and Mount Vesuvius are stratovolcanoes, also known as composite volcanoes. They are tall and steep-sided, composed of alternating layers of lava flows and ash. Both have a history of producing very large explosive eruptions with massive ash clouds including historically famous eruptions that killed thousands.

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.
