- 66. Paragraph 2 menu It was one of the Indonesian volcanoes that produced the most catastrophic explosion yet recorded. In 1883, a small island named Krakatau, seven kilometres long by five kilo-metres wide, lying between Sumatra and Java, began to emit clouds of smoke. As the eruptions continued, ash rained down on the decks of ships sailing nearby and electric flames played in their rigging. Day after day, enormous quantities of ash and lava blocks were thrown out Literal Comprehension from the crater, accompanied by deafening explosions. But the underground chamber from which all this material was coming was slowly emptying. At 10am on 28th August, the rock roof of the chamber could bear the weight of the ocean and its floor no longer. It collapsed. To Paragraph 3
- 67. Paragraph 3 menu Millions of tons of water fell onto the molten lava in the chamber and two-thirds of the island fell on top of it. The result was an explosion that produced the loudest sound ever to echo around the world in recorded history. It was heard over three thousands kilometres away in Australia. Five thousand kilometres away, on the small island of Rodriguez, the commander of the British garrison thought it was the sound of distant gunfire. A great wind swept Literal Comprehension away from the site and circled the earth seven times before it finally died away. Most catastrophic of all, the explosion formed an immense wave in the sea. As it travelled towards the coast of Java, it became a wall of water as high as a four-storey house. It picked up a naval gunboat, carried it two kilometres inland and dumped it on top of a hill. It overwhelmed village after village along the thickly populated coast. Over 36, 000 people died. To Paragraph 4
- 68. Paragraph 4 menu The biggest explosion of recent years occurred on the other side of the Pacific, along the western coast of North America. Until 1980, Mount St. Helens was famous for the beautiful shape of its cone. It rose nearly 3,000 metres high and was crowned with snow the year round. In March that year, warning rumbles began to come from it. Steam and smoke rose from its peak, dusting the Literal Comprehension snow cap with streaks of grey. All through April, the column of smoke grew. The northern flank of the mountain, about 1,000 metres below the summit, began to bulge outwards. The swelling grew at a rate of about two metres a day. Then, at half past eight on the morning of 18th May, the mountain exploded. To Paragraph 5
- 69. Paragraph 5 menu The northwest face, about a cubic kilometre of it, simply blew out. The trees that had clothed the lower slopes of the mountain, over an area of 200 square kilometres, were laid flat as though they were matches. A immense black cloud rose above the mountain, towering 20 kilometres into the sky. Few people live close to the volcanoand there had been a lot of warning, but even Literal Comprehension so 60 people were killed. Geologists assumed that the explosion was 2, 500 times as powerful as the nuclear blast that destroyed the city of Hiroshima. To Paragraph 6
- 70. Paragraph 6 menu Nothing can live on a volcano immediately after its eruption. If there has been an explosion, steam, smoke, and poisonous gas will continue to billow up from the crater for weeks. However, Krakatau shows how complete a recovery can be. Fifty years after the catastrophe, a small vent spouting fire arose from the sea. The people call it Anak - the child of - Krakatau. Already it has thickets of casuarina and wild sugar cane growing on its flanks. Literal Comprehension To Paragraph 7
- 71. Paragraphs 7 and8 menu A remnant of the old island, now called Rakata, lies a mile or so away across the sea. The slopes that a century ago were bare are now covered by a dense tropical forest. Some of the seeds from which it sprang must have floated here across the sea. Others were carried by the wind or brought on the feet or in the stomachs of birds. In this forest live many winged creatures – birds, butterflies, and other insects – that clearly had little difficulty in Literal Comprehension reaching the island from the mainland 40 kilometres away. Pythons, monitor lizards and rats have also reached here, perhaps on floating rafts of vegetation. The tropical forest has, within a century, reclaimed Krakatau. Without much doubt, the coniferous forest, in another century, will have reclaimed Mountr St. Helens. Back to Menu >>
