The eruption of Krakatoa in 1883 was so explosive due to the accumulation of high-pressure magma beneath the volcano, which eventually led to a catastrophic release of energy. The eruption was triggered by the collapse of the volcano's magma chamber, resulting in a series of powerful explosions that generated massive tsunamis and global climatic effects.
What else can I help you with?
What was the loudest volcanic eruption ever?
The loudest volcanic eruption in recorded history was the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia. The explosion was so powerful that it was heard up to 3,000 miles away and led to the destruction of the island.
Is Krakatoa a super volcano?
Okay from what we have found out so far 2012, it looks like Krakatoa is a super volcano. Pre 1883 The was a earlier Caldera forming eruption, which split the main land of Java and Sumatra apart. This lead to the formation of the Sunda Straits. (super eruption) 416 AD Krakatoa was again mentioned in the book of kings. In recent eruptions it has not had a large super eruption, but as we all know who like the story of Krakatoa it 'child' Anakrakatoa is a source of concern. So there's my answer circa 2012 :0)
What type of eruption does MtFuji produce?
It is a composite volcano, so the kind of eruptions it has is explosive.
Is Krakatoa island poor?
Krakatoa is not inhabited, so it does not have a population that could be classified as poor. The island is a volcanic island located in Indonesia and is primarily known for its large volcanic eruption in 1883.
Did the world's loudest volcano blow up an island called Krakatoa?
Not exactly. The explosions generate by the eruption of Krakatoa were enormous, but the island itself was not blown up. The eruption ejected so much magma, that the island of Krakatoa collapsed into the space left behind.
What is the most powerful volcano and violent eruption that took place?
The Krakatoa volcano eruption that occurred in 1883 in Sumatra, Indonesia. It was so powerful that it even destroyed the volcano. Today, Krakatoa's son, "Anak Krakatau" that was made of Krakatoa's eruption stands on the remains of the 1883 Krakatoa eruption.

The world's largest volcanic explosion occurred in 1883 which country when the island of Krakatoa blew itself apart?
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.
Is Mt Krakatoa an Active Volcano?
Yes, Krakatoa ( or Krakatau, as it is said in Indonesian, which is where it is located,) is still highly active. It's most recent eruption was in November of the year 2010
How can you tell if a layer of composite cone was formed by quiet eruption or explosive eruption?
A layer of composite cone formed by quiet eruption will have alternating layers of ash and lava flows, with gentle slopes. In contrast, a layer formed by explosive eruption will have predominantly pyroclastic materials like ash and pumice, with steep slopes and a more jagged appearance due to the explosive nature of the eruptions.
What was the real sound of the Krakatoa eruption?
The real sound of the Krakatoa eruption was described as a series of loud explosions, followed by a deep rumbling noise that could be heard up to 3,000 miles away. The sound was so loud that it ruptured the eardrums of sailors in the surrounding area and was said to be the loudest sound ever recorded in history.
How does an explosive erupton produce proclastic flow?
The explosive eruption has got to be powerful enough to create an eruption column (a Jet of hot gas and magma particles). This is shot into the atmosphere by the force of the eruption but the weight of the stuff in the eruption column is so great that it collapses back down on itself under gravity and runs down the sides of the volcano as a pyroclastic flow.
How did mt Krakatoa gets its name?
Mt.Krakatau got its name because the island it was formed on is called Krakatou and since it is the only mountain there it was named after the island. Anak Krakatou was formed after an eruption of Krakatou and it is so named as anak means child so it is Krakatoa's child.
