The strength of Krakatoa, particularly during its catastrophic eruption in 1883, is often measured in terms of its Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI), which reached a level of 6. This eruption was one of the most powerful in recorded history, leading to significant atmospheric effects, including global temperature drops and vivid sunsets. The explosion generated tsunamis that devastated nearby coastal areas, resulting in over 36,000 fatalities. The eruption's impact on climate and geography was profound, reshaping the region and influencing scientific understanding of volcanic activity.
Krakatoa is in the Indian sea
Krakatoa erupts due to the buildup of pressure from magma beneath the Earth's surface. When the pressure exceeds the strength of the surrounding rock, it can cause explosive volcanic eruptions. These eruptions often release ash, gas, and pyroclastic flows, resulting in significant atmospheric and geological effects. The 1883 eruption of Krakatoa was particularly catastrophic, leading to tsunamis and global climate impacts.
Krakatoa and Anak Krakatoa are not the same volcano. Krakatoa refers to the volcanic island that existed before its massive eruption in 1883, leading to the collapse of the island. Anak Krakatoa, meaning "Child of Krakatoa," is a new volcanic island that has emerged from the sea in the same location and is actively growing as a result of volcanic activity.
The Indonesian name for Krakatoa is 'Krakatau'
it doesn't have one

Krakatoa is an island in Indonesia.
mount Krakatoa was discovered in 1784
Krakatoa is in the Indian sea
Krakatoa was on the island of Krakatoa. There is now a new island called Anak Krakatau.
krakatoa erupted in 1883
Krakatoa is an island in Indonesia.
krakatoa erupted in 1883
Either is correct. Krakatoa, or Krakatau, is a volcano near the Indonesian island of Rakata in western Indonesia, and it is also referred to as Mt Krakatoa.
