Asked by Wiki User

Mount Tambora formed as a result of a subduction zone. Here, a section of the ocean floor that is part of the Indo-Australian Plate is sliding under part of the Eurasian Plate and into the mantle. The oceanic crust takes some water and other volatiles with it. This seeps into the superheated rock of the mantle, allowing it to melt. It then rises toward the surface and through the crust via cracks. This then emerges on the surface, forming volcanoes such as Mount Tambora.

Not a hope. Even now, 135 years later, with all the scientific and engineering expertise we've accumulated since Krakatoa blew its top, if we had a few months' advance warning that such an explosion was imminent, about all we would be able to do is move a bunch of people out of harm's way and set up a lot of cameras, because nothing mankind is yet able to accomplish would alter such an immense natural cataclysm in the slightest.

In 1883 we were still firmly in the age of steam power -- cobbling together 200 horsepower was about as impressive a feat of mechanical force as we could manage back then. Krakatoa simply dwarfed our capacities to effect change on the world. Its explosion is still at least four times more powerful than the most enormous nuclear explosion we've been able to achieve.
