Krakatoa erupted due to the build-up of pressure from underlying magma chamber. Tsunamis occurred because of the displacement of water from the massive explosion. A new volcano is growing out of the Krakatoa crater because volcanic activity can cause the formation of new vents and eruptions in the same region.
