Question

list three ways that volcanic activity near krakatoa in 1883 affected people in the region as well as the rest of the world

Answer 1

The eruption of the Krakatoa volcano in 1883 is considered one of the most violent and deadly in history. In August 1883, this volcanic activity ended with the lives of approximately 36,000 people. One of the ways in which this activity directly affected the population of the region was by the blasts of the volcano and the consequent thermal injuries. Another way in which the population was affected was by the tsunamis generated by the collapse of the volcano. Finally, the eruption had an impact on the global climate, generating temperature drops throughout the world.

Answer 2

The volcanic explosions caused tsunamis that killed thousands of people in the region.

Toxic clouds of volcanic matter and gas floated in the area around Krakatoa, also resulting in deaths.

Clouds of dust and ash particles shot into the air and drifted around Earth’s atmosphere for two years, affecting temperatures in the region and changing the color of sunsets and sunrises around the globe.
