The eruption happened on August 26–27, 1883.
August 26–27, 1883
It was on the Island of Krakatoa - and the huge eruption blew most of the volcano apart.
An eruption from the side of a volcano is called a lateral eruption. This usually happens at rift zones where a volcano breaks apart. It is also called a flank eruption. If the volcano is explosive, it may also be called a lateral blast.

The lava spluges outta the sides and burns the volcano apart. It looks nothing like it did before.
False. The island of Krakatoa was indeed destroyed by a massive volcanic eruption in 1883, but it did not plow itself apart, nor was it the largest volcanic eruption. When Krakatoa erupted, it blasted out so much magma, that it left an empty space in the magma chamber. This caused the volcano to collapse in on itself. Such an even is called a caldera forming eruption. The largest eruption of historic times was the 1815 eruption of Mount Tambora. Other, prehistoric eruptions have been much larger.

Yes they areBecause if there is going to be a volcano eruption then there will be certain depth of earthquake which will cause the earth surface tear apart and there is volcano.
Mount Krakatau is located on the Sunda Straight between Sumatra and Java, it is a volcanic island and part of Indonesia. An eruption in 1883 blew the island apart and caused a tsunami that killed more than 36,000 people. Mount Krakatau is the most amazing Volcano in the world!
The eruption of Eyjafjallajokull volcano in 2010 was triggered by the interaction of magma with water from melting ice, leading to explosive eruptions. This eruption also led to the dispersal of ash clouds that disrupted air travel in Europe due to potential engine damage, highlighting the volcano's impact on aviation.
It depends on what you mean by "break." Many volcanoes are prone to landslides, some of which can be quite large. The largest landslide on record occurred when the entire northern face of Mount St. Helens gave way. It was immediately followed by a catastrophic eruption. Extremely large eruptions can cause a volcano to collapse in on itself, leaving a massive depression called a caldera.
In terms of volcano monitoring the GPS monitoring sites that can be places anywhere on the volcano are used to monitor specific movements of the mountain. The movements of a volcano can indicate many things about what is going on inside the volcano, for example if two GPS units on opposide sides of the volcano are moving further apart it would indicate the volcano is expanding. This could possibly be an indication of magma forcing its way up into the volcano and can also indicate a potential eruption in the future.
