Krakatoa erupted in 1883, killed many, affected climate worldwide, and may do it all again. Krakatoa affected many people all over the world, mostly in bad ways. A lot of people think that Krakatoa is in the past, but it’s still active and very dangerous. A lot of time and energy has gone into studying volcanoes like this. As you can probably guess, it's not the safest line of work.
The eruption of Krakatoa was the loudest sound in modern history. It reached thirty thousand miles away. Anyone within the first hundred miles became deaf. This was in eighteen eighty three, so they had no idea what was going on. We now know that the initial eruption allowed sea water into the the magma chamber. The water boiled instantaneously creating …show more content…
It killed over 13,000 people, between the lava, the tsunamis, the heat, and the earthquakes. Afterwards a lot of money went into research. When the artist edvard Munch saw the red sky. It inspired him, or terrified him depending on your point of view.
The most effects that Krakatoa had on the world where physical. The island was about 3 miles wide and 5.5 miles long located in the Indian Ocean on the ring of fire. when it erupted it destroyed over two thirds of the island and sunk itself into the ocean. The eruption changed climate worldwide for years to come. The entire earth was shaken when it erupted with global earthquakes. Sort of like when you cut a tiny hole into a balloon. All the air comes rushing out that tiny hole, but if that hole is plugged what then? The balloon would just go back to normal, but the volcano would unplug itself with an explosion.
And finally, the dangers of krakatoa. When Krakatoa died it left behind a deadly gift. It left behind the Devil's Cauldron, an underwater caldara. Out of this caldara spouted Anak Krakatau (Child of Krakatoa). Every two years Anak Krakatau erupts, and with every eruption it grows. The potential for this infant volcano is
