Because Krakatoa volcano are so dangerous and so many pepole died with axis gas.

Locally by ash and gases; there and more widely by the tsunami the final explosion threw up. it's possible that the volcano collapsed underwater so the final and extremely violent blast was of steam from the sea quenching the magma chamber.

As scary as it seems, no! Krakatoa actually reformed after an island destroying eruption in 1883.

Thankfully these eruptions were small and any major eruption like that in 1883 will likely occur in hundreds of years.
