Question

Write short note on the following:

The 1883 eruption

Short Note

Solution

This was the worst eruption of the volcano. It occurred in the month of August. It erupted with such a loud boom that it was heard more than 3500 km away in Australia. Furthermore, it is believed to be the loudest sound man has ever heard. The island, which was a volcanic mountain, collapsed on itself. The dust that was thrown up in the eruption rose to about 80 km in the sky. It caused tsunamis in the sea near the island. About 165 villages and towns were destroyed due to the eruption and the tsunamis. The eruption destroyed two-thirds of the island of Krakatoa. It collapsed beneath the surface of the sea, creating a huge underwater volcanic crater or hole. The hole was more than 6 km wide.
