HELP PROMOTE KRAKATOA ADD A SONG TO YOUR PROFILE....HIT PLAY TO LISTEN Krakatoa .... the most deadly volcanic eruption recorded in world history which generated the loudest ear-shattering colossal blast ever historically recorded that literally blew the Indonesian Island of Krakatoa apart. The 1883 cataclysmic explosion was estimated to be equal to the detonation of over 21,000 atomic bombs multiplied similar to the force of 100 megatons (the Hiroshima bomb was about 20 kilotons) leaving more than 36,000 dead and 165 coastal villages destroyed in 1883. The island virtually collapsed into its cavity, 300 m below sea level. Atmospheric shock waves reverberated around the world seven times and were detectable for five days. The explosions were heard on Rodriguez Island, 4653 km distant across the Indian Ocean, and over 1/13th of the earth's surface. The eruption was so violet that it generated a series of scorching pyroclastic flows and immense tsunamis that ravaged adjacent coastlines spewing volcanic ash and debris reaching as far west as Madagascar, Australia and the island of Rodriguez. The tidal waves it produced resulted in the destruction of more than 150 villages, and were felt in France and England. It produced a tsunami that reached heights of 40 m above sea level, devastating everything in their path and hurling ashore coral blocks weighing as much as 600 tons. The volcanic dust veil that was propelled kilometers into the stratosphere began to make a ring around the equator creating spectacular atmospheric effects, that also acted as a solar radiation filter, lowering global temperatures as much as 1.2 degree C in the year after the eruption.
