A quarter century ago, in 1883, an erupting volcano in the Sunda Strait. Mount Krakatau (Krakatoa call Westerners) who was hung on the island of Krakatoa spewed his anger with power of 200 megatons of TNT equivalent. Just so you know, the amount of TNT is equivalent to 13.000 times the Little Boy, the atomic bomb that crushes Hiroshima in Japan in 1945. Really devastating.

A total of 36.417 people dying because of wrath, 165 settlements disappeared from the surface of the earth, and destroyed 132 villages devastated. Krakatoa eruption also triggered a tsunami that was to Hawaii and the U.S. West coast, a distance that for many people have never seen before because so far. The ship was in South Africa is said to crashing because of the tsunami that comes from the tip of Java island.
There is another record set Krakatoa: sound blast was heard even in the East Perth within 3.110 kilometers and on the west side residents in Rodrigues near Mauritius within 5.000 kilometers could hear the "sigh" Krakatoa. This means about one eighth of the planet Earth could be heard raging mighty Krakatau.

After the explosion, the planet was covered in dark ash that covered the atmosphere vulaknis. Sunlight can not penetrate the thick dust flying. Just so you know, Krakatoa spewed 25 cubic kilometers of rock and ash into the air. Well, like going to the apocalypse.
The images adorn this entry is from the Illustrated London News published on 8 September 1883 (you can buy a replica of the front page of the paper for $ 184 dollars on Amazon). Meanwhile, in 1927 a mountain "appears" born of the former location of Mount Krakatoa. He called Anak Krakatau.

Tentang Asia


Asia (Listeni/ˈʒə/ or /ˈʃə/) is the world's largest and most populous continent, located primarily in the eastern and northern hemispheres. It covers 8.7% of the Earth's total surface area (or 30% of its land area) and with approximately 4.3 billion people, it hosts 60% of the world's current human population. Asia has a high growth rate in the modern era. For instance, during the 20th century, Asia's population nearly quadrupled.[3]
Asia is defined as comprising the eastwards four-fifths of Eurasia. It is located to the east of the Suez Canal, the Ural river, and the Ural Mountains, and south of the Caucasus Mountains (or the Kuma-Manych Depression) and the Caspian and Black Seas.[4][5] It is bounded on the east by the Pacific Ocean, on the south by the Indian Ocean and on the north by the Arctic Ocean.
Given its size and diversity, Asia – a toponym dating back to classical antiquity – "is more a cultural concept" incorporating diverse regions and peoples than a homogeneous physical entity.[6] Asia differs very widely among and within its regions with regard to ethnic groups, cultures, environments, economics, historical ties and government systems.
