 An

inactive volcano is called a dormant. An
inactive volcano/dormant becomes active
again when pressure builds up in the mantle,
or when the plates open back up again
 It would bring a lot of the world together to
help. Everybody in the world would here
about the eruption of the volcano. All the
people on the big island would probably be
devastated and depressed of there loss.
 The

magma/lava would probably cover most
of the island. The eruption would burn a lot
of the trees and houses on the big island.
The lava would spread into the water an
make the island bigger.
 To recover they would have to rebuild on the
parts of the island that were not hit.
Evacuate people from parts of the island that
were not hit. Collect the items that survived
the eruption.
 Erupted

in Sunda Strait, Indonesia on August

27, 1883
 Killed 36,000 people and destroyed 165
villages and destroyed 2/3 of the pre-existing
island of Krakatoa
 Ash fell on 840km north, 1155km SW, 6076km
west- northwest
 Could be heard 3,000 miles away
 The ocean water had gotten into the
volcano’s magmatic chambers through its
rupturing walls leading to the formation of
superheated steam
 It

lasted 3 days long
 The remaining island is named Rakata
 Only a small islet remained in a basin
covered by 900 feet
 Buried under a thick layer of sterile
ash/animal life did not begin to reestablish
itself for 5 years
 Volcano’s collapse triggered a series of
tsunamis
 Afterwards rebuilt villages
