Does Mount Anak Krakatau Have Great Eruption Potential Like 1883?

Mount Anak Krakatau is in turmoil and several times spewing volcanic material from its peak. Eruptions have occurred since the last few days and are reported to still occur today, Sunday (6/2/2022). This was conveyed by the Head of the Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG), Andiani. Yesterday at 07.07 WIB there was an eruption with a height of 600 meters of smoke, gray in color, leaning towards the northeast," Andiani told Kompas.com, Sunday (6/2/2022) who lives around the location. Then does Mount Anak Krakatau have the potential to erupt violently like Mount Krakatoa in 1883? 

Although worrying, the eruption of Mount Anak Krakatau that has occurred so far is not as strong as the legendary eruption of Mount Krakatau at the end of the 19th century. On August 26, 1883, Mount Krakatoa erupted violently and its volcanic ash covered almost 2/3 of the Earth's atmosphere.

The sound of Krakatoa's eruption at that time was very loud, so it could be heard from a point thousands of kilometers from the location of Krakatoa. Not only that, the eruption also caused tsunami waves as high as 30 meters that swept and killed tens of thousands of people. Even on August 27, 1883, two thirds of Krakatoa collapsed due to a series of eruptions.

Every few thousand years, a hydrothermal explosion will form a crater as much as a few hundred meters across.                                                                     Source:  top zone
