It was on the Island of Krakatoa - and the huge eruption blew most of the volcano apart.
No. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa did kill about 36,000 people. Although this eruptions was extremely large, Krakatoa is not a supervolcano.
The Krakatoa volcano eruptions occurred in August 1883. The most significant eruption happened on August 26-27, 1883, leading to one of the most powerful volcanic explosions in recorded history.
The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 released energy equivalent to about 200 megatons of TNT. It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history, causing widespread destruction and environmental effects.
The Mount St Helens eruption in the US in 1980. Other famous eruptions are: Krakatoa in Indonesia in 1883 - the heaviest eruption in recorded history - and Vesuvius, which in the year 79 famously destroyed the ancient city of Pompei.
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.
Before the main 1883 eruption, Krakatoa produced, frequent earthquakes, steam clouds, and sometimes small eruptions.
Yes, the Krakatoa eruption in 1883 was recorded in history. It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history, causing widespread destruction and significant global impacts.
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.
The plural of eruption is eruptions.
Yes, the eruption of Mount Krakatoa in 1883 was a volcanic eruption. It was one of the most powerful volcanic eruptions in recorded history, resulting in the destruction of most of the island and causing significant global climate effects.
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.
