The type of plate boundaries Krakatoa has is convergent arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186189615 2017-09-10 22:00:15 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186189615 5. August 27, 1883 was the most devastating and largest eruption from the Krakatoa volcano. The sound of the final explosion was heard over 4500km away. Also the eruption generated tsunamis 40 miles high. The death toll was more than 36,000 people. arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186190039 2017-09-10 22:06:00 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186190039 6. The volcano is still active. The vent has formed a small island in the middle of the caldera that developed after the 1883 eruption. The island is called Anak Krakatau and is erupting all the time at a low level but not anywhere as near as the size of the 1883 eruption. The earliest known eruption was in 416 AD and was described as a "thundering noise and a fiery glow in the sky." arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186190800 2017-09-10 22:15:56 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186190800 9. The Krakatoa volcano was used in a movie called "Krakatoa: The Last Days" which was made in 2006 which was a BBC television docudrama. arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186191771 2017-09-10 22:27:19 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186191771 7. The caldera created in 1883 spit out a new island called Anak Krakatau. The island continues to grow an average of 5 inches per week into modern times. Scientists studied this island to watch how the ecosystem rebuilt itself. arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186192848 2017-09-10 22:39:47 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186192848 Visual of damage of 1883 eruption. arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186193459 2017-09-10 22:47:14 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186193459 4. A direct verification of the type of magma of the Krakatoa volcano was not found but from the information gathered and the severity of the 1883 eruption, we have concluded that the type of magma is rhyolitic. arias0diana https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186193827 2017-09-10 22:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/arias0diana/vi2rgh2sd0la/wish/186193827 8. The island on which the volcano is on is open to visitors/tourists.
