Whilst there was some warning, there was insufficient warning for all the people to get away. Many did not believe there would be a major eruption because Krakatoa/ Krakatau had lain dormant for 200 years. The northern two-thirds of the island was completely decimated by the explosion. This was followed by the collapse of the unsupported volcanic chambers which formed the huge underwater caldera. The explosion, together with the collapse of the volcano, generated gigantic tsunami waves, some reaching 40m in height above sea level. These caused great destruction, wiping out hundreds of villages and towns along the nearby coasts of Java and Sumatra, and killing over 36,000 people. The waves were so huge and powerful that the steamship Berouw was carried 3km inland and deposited 10m above sea level, killing its 28 crew.
Most of the deaths from the 1883 eruption were caused by huge tsunamis that devastated nearby coastal areas. Several thousand people were also killed by pyroclastic flows, fast-moving clouds of burning hot ash that move along the surface.
The major cause of death in the 1883 eruption of mount Krakatoa was ash clouds, and deadl gases that were released into the air. :D
Krakatoa erupted August 27, 1883. But it did erupt many more times after that.Also onMay 20 , 1883On August 26, 1883. It erupted 5:30am, 6:42am, 8:20am and 10:02am local time.Krakatoa last major eruption was in 1883 but there have been smaller eruptions since then.
Yes they have been rebuilt since the horrid one in 1883 but this eruption destroyed many 165 towns and villages
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.
According to records compiled from different sources there was not a 535 AD eruption of Krakatau, however there was a major eruption around 416 AD that completely destroyed the volcano and created a large undersea caldera. refer to Smithsonian Institute of Global Volcanism for further details
Mount Hood at its last eruption cause a major amount of damage. Many people were injured when it erupted and a few died.
Volcano collapse and tsunami. Hope this helped! =)
mostly the ash

The Major cause of death for Jauguars are the hunters.
Death, major injuries etc.

hunger
car accidents

True. i think that is the major cause of death
