Was there any warning before Krakatoa erupted?

Answer 1

Most likely. The volcano has continued to erupt regularly since its last massive explosion in 1883. These things are cyclical. There are many similar volcanoes around the world. See also: subduction zones, the 'ring of fire', and volcanoes in general.

Answer 2

Yes, there were several warning signs before the eruption of Krakatoa in 1883, including increased seismic activity, steam and ash emissions, and small eruptions. However, the full extent of the eruption and its devastating impact was not fully anticipated.

Answer 3

Volcanic eruptions are almost impossible to predict, especially back in the Krakatoa times. There are clear warnings that activity is increasing like rising gas emissions, seismic readings and deformation, but whether an eruption is imminent or not is still not exactly predictable.

Answer 4

No. While smaller eruptions had been occurring in the months leading up to the cataclysmic 1883 event, nobody knew such as massive event would coming, nor that any eruption would occur at all before the smaller ones started. The ability to predict volcanic eruptions did not come until much later.

Answer 5

Yes because they were smart enough to run when it started to smoke.

Answer 6

yes people could feel earthquakes and deep rumbles so they warned everyone Krakatoa was going to erupt.

Answer 7

Krackatoa may erupt in the future since it is active and not dormant. The last eruption was on January 11, 2011. It almost seems as if there will be an eruption every year.

Answer 8

It is impossible to predict when a volcano's next eruption will be.

Answer 9

Yes. The new island of Anak Krakatau frequently produces small eruptions.
