Chapter One
The Dynamic Volcano Called Krakatoa
On August 26, 1883 was the beginning of the greatest volcano eruption in the world. The volcano's name is Krakatoa, the volcano sits along the pacific coast lines of Sumatra Indonesia, which is among 60 miles of active volcano territory, the size of Krakatoa was a combination of 3 volcanoes put together inside of one big one.
When the volcano Krakatoa exploded it was the most enormous and loudest eruption sound in recorded history, it was heard over 3000 miles away, the sound of the eruption reached other countries far away such as Europe, Africa, various parts of Asia and others.
The before effects and the aftermath effects of the volcano eruption can have extreme occurrences on land and sea for days, weeks, months, and years, the magma from inside the volcano creates lava flow and lava is made of materials of magnesium, iron, aluminum, and silica sulfites, after an eruption the lava cools and turns as hard as a rock, here's some food for thought the Hawaiian Islands were built from dynamic measures of melted lava. Throughout history, and lava can reach a temperature of up to 2000 degrees.
At several thousand feet beneath the surface of the volcano the ocean water is 1000 times hotter then the atmosphere on land, the extreme hot ocean water from deep below can trigger a volcano to erupt, 80 percent of volcano eruptions happen under water, due to heated temperature from deep below the ocean. Several days before Krakatoa exploded the tremors of land was getting worse everyday things were confused and out of balance the animals in the village of Sumatia were behaving very strangely, animals can detect danger faster than human beings.
Krakatoa is 25 miles away from Sumatia on Sunday August 26, 1883 every second 1 million cubic yards of hot lava came down the mountain from the volcano. Throughout this story Krakatoa will explode 3 different times on three different occasions.
The first eruption started a massive Tsunami that flooded 165 villages throughout Indonesia, A tsunami has 2 types of effects, the first is the reverse effect then the forward effect, that tsunami destroyed the villages within 20 minutes then it disappeared back to the sea. Volcano eruption causes tsunami to happen, due to atmosphere changes and mud slides.
In less than one hour the volcano's smoke and ash was 30 miles into the sky, the eruption filled the air with electricity, the ash debris was a St. Elmo's fire falling and forming in the air, the ash was thick and heavy, like mud.
Several hours later Krakatoa exploded again, the second eruption lasted for most of the day of August 26, 1883 then the ash continued to grow more rapidly, Krakatoa was the loudest sound ever heard from a volcano eruption.
The next day on August 27, 1883 Krakatoa was entering a different phase much more extreme than before, the super explosion is about to happen. At 10:02 AM Krakatoa exploded for the third time it was a massive revelation, the sound of the eruption traveled over 3000 miles, Krakatoa's third explosion was the loudest super bang in history.
Moments later no one expected a second tsunami that was bigger than the first tsunami, the waves in the pacific ocean were over 100 feet high the third eruption was a combination of fire, water and massive mud slides of pyroclastic flows and lahars effects.
The pyroclastic flow temperature was above 1300 degrees traveling beyond 100 miles per hour, the toxic fumes and gases in the air is call the greenhouse effect and carbon dioxide effect.
The pyroclastic flow was hauling large rocks at the size of a house, the various debris of a volcano eruption can burn and destroy the respiratory system until death occurs.
The explosion of a volcano eruption is call a wallop and a wallop is what creates the tsunami which includes the pyroclastic flows and lahars effect.
Krakatoa killed 36,000 people and destroyed 165 villages and 12 square miles of island turf completely disappeared, the Krakatoa eruption lasted for 2 days.
One year later dead bodies were still floating inside the pacific and Indian oceans from the massive killing of Krakatoa, many dead bodies were being found along the coast lines of Africa which is miles and miles away.
44 years later in 1927 ANAK Krakatoa is the son of big daddy Krakatoa, since 1883 a new volcano was born, ANAK Krakatoa is still young the volcano is just a teenager with a volcano temper but volcanologists are keeping a close eye on ANAK because the young volcano is unstable, to start with the unstableness is what starts the land slides.
The location of the territory is 10 times the population compared to 1883 many people live there and now it's a beautiful resort area inside Indonesia.
Around the world volcanic ash will block the air flow in airplanes in flight, the ash is made of broken glass, which stops the air flow which causes the jet engines to short out and stop working.
Krakatoa was the greatest eruption in the history of the world, which took 36,000 lives.
Volcano in Martinque
In 1902 on the island of St. Pierc Martinque in the Caribbean, the island had 28,000 people living there before the volcano eruption, after the eruption only two people survived one survivor was trapped in jail and the other survivor was inside an underground tunnel which means the aftermath effects of the volcano's consequences it killed 27,998 people.
The 10 aftermath effects of Volcano Eruptions
1. A pyroclastic flow is a thick cloud of blinding hot ash, rock and other debris that can move at a speed up to 100 miles per hour.
2. The lahars concept is a giant mudslide of extreme hot lava rock, ash and gases up to 2000 degrees.
3. The greenhouse concept is fatal volcanic toxic gases inside the air.
4. The lightening effect concept is deadly electrical currents that travel inside the ground and inside the air.
5. Volcanic ash is deadly chips of glass which contains poisons and uranium.
6. The starvation effect concept means the soil on the ground is totally dead nothing will grow which means there will be no food to eat, and people perish.
7. The carbon dioxide effect concept is deadly invisible fumes in the air which leads to death. 8. The Tephra block effect concept is large heavy clusters of various volcanic debris. Which are totally deadly. 9. The trigger effect concept means a volcano eruption can create or trigger various other consequences such as tsunami, earthquake or wind storms.
10. The Strato shields concept mean multiple aftermath circle surround the volcano of magnetic forces. Which are deadly.
Volcano tremors is vibrations that shake the ground before the eruption happens.
Leading Seismologists know an earthquake is impossible to predict correctly, they do not understand what make them start or stop, it's a mystery phenomenon of planet earth.
Every year earthquakes rule the planet, seismologists have reported more than 35 thousand earthquakes occur yearly around the world.
America spends the most money worldwide in research to predict natural and supernatural cataclysmic and catastrophic phenomenon.
A mega thrust earthquake of a magnitude 9.0 has seismic waves that can travel at a speed up to 10 thousand miles per hour and destroy up to 8 hundred miles of land in several seconds, this is knows as the cascadia effect.
The vibrations of a mega thrust super size earthquake can last up to 5 minutes, which is enough time to rip the earth apart in extraordinary ways.
Earthquake Details
An earthquake has three types of vibration effects
1. The first vibration effect is known as a seismic wave, which is the largest wave.
2. The second vibration effect is known as a shock wave which is the medium size wave.
3. The third vibration effect is known as a surface wave which is the smallest size wave, surface waves are also identified as aftershock waves, aftershock waves can repeat themselves up to 500 times to 1000 times.
Earthquakes can also trigger tsunamis, volcano eruptions and other forms of phenomena, earthquakes are the fastest killing catastrophic objects of disaster in the world.
The 10 Biggest Earthquakes in the World That Killed the Most People
1. January 23, 1556 Shensi China was engulfed by a magnitude 8.0 earthquake, the devastation killed 830,000 people and most of the homes, buildings and land sights were completely destroyed. 2. July 27, 1976 Tangshan China was engulfed by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake, the devastation killed between 255,000 to 655,000 people and much of the homes and land was destroyed and vanished beneath the surface, and many are still missing. 3. August 9, 1138 Aleppo Syria was engulfed by a magnitude earthquake unknown, the devastation was remarkable and overwhelming, the huge impact killed 230,000 people in minutes. 4. December 26, 2004 Sumatra Indonesia was highly engulfed with an enormous magnitude 9.1 earthquake and tsunami, the dynamics of the devastation destroyed much of 12 Island throughout south east pacific coast of Indonesia and killed 227,898 and above people with over a million natives displaced. 5. January 12, 2010 the island of Haiti was highly engulfed by a magnitude 7.0 earthquake, the massive devastation killed 222,570 plus people and over 300 were seriously injured then later 1.3 million people were displaced with over 97,294 homes and buildings completely destroyed plus over 188,383 properties was also effected and damaged. An earthquake and tsunami can destroy anything within it's path in seconds, they are two of the strongest and fastest moving catastrophic of earth. A mega earthquake can travel at a speed up to 10,000 mph and a tsunami can travel at a speed up to 600 mph plus nearly as fast as a jumbo jet.

The enormous impact occurred within seconds and killed over 142,800 people and many thousands were displaced. 10. October 5, 1948 Ashgabat Turkmenistan was highly engulfed by a serious magnitude 7.3 earthquake, nearly all homes and most brick buildings completely collapsed and the aftermath killed 110,000 people in several seconds.
6 of the Highest Magnitude Earthquakes on Earth
1. On May 22, 1960 Chile experienced a magnitude 9.5 earthquake the devastation was incredible, over 2 million people were left homeless and 4,485.00 were injured and killed by the number one strongest earthquake on earth. 2. On March 28, 1964 the Gulf of Alaska experiences a magnitude 9.2 earthquake, it's also called the prince William sound earthquake which cause landslide in Anchorage and swallowed much of the areas effect such as Valdez inlet and others, thousands of people were displaced with damage reaching to nearly 1 billion, the aftermath of this disaster killed nearly 128 people and hundreds were severely injured. 3. On December 26, 2004 Sumatra and 11 other islands throughout Indonesia was effected by a magnitude 9.1 earthquake that created a massive tsunami which effected nearly 60 percent of the infrastructure throughout the pacific coast line millions of people were displaced over 230,000 people were killed within minutes. 4. On August 13, 1868 Peru experienced a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that created a massive tsunami that effected other countries such as Hawaii and Bolivia many were displaced throughout those countries and many were injured and over 23,000 people were killed. 5. On January 26, 1700 the north pacific coast line at America near Vancouver experienced a magnitude 9.0 earthquake that created a massive tsunami, many people were left homeless and injured and the death rate is still unknown because much of the areas effect completely disappeared and people were missing in action.
6. On March 11, 2011 Japan experienced a magnitude 8.9 earthquake that created a massive monster tsunami that also effected other countries throughout the pacific coast line also including the border of America many people are still missing at this time and the infrastructure, real estate, motor vehicles and others have been wiped out and completely disappeared due to the impact of this horrific disaster, a mega earthquake can travel between 10,000 miles per hour or at least 2 miles per second and a mega tsunami can travel at a speed up to 620 miles per hour, as of April 1, 2011 the cost of damages and the death toll is still unknown.
The Earthquake of Central China
On January 23, 1556 in Central China was the most deadliest earthquake in the history of humankind, the earthquake happen inside the water of the yellow river where the soil is very soft and easy to break open and give way to the incredible power of an earthquake, 8.0 magnitude.
The extreme cruel earthquake of 1556 was not the biggest and strongest earthquake in the world, but it was the most deadliest on planet earth, the odds were against the people of China, the earthquake killed 830 thousand people within seconds, nearly 1 million people die that day.
The phenomenon outbreak will never be forgotten in history, it's a prime example to the power and quickness of a supernatural object known as an earthquake.
The Biggest Earthquake Havocs in America
On December 16, 1811 started the biggest series of disaster havocs in and surrounding New Madrid Missouri at 2:00 AM in the early morning due to a massive earthquake.
The sudden impact earthquake was said to be a magnitude 8.0 which can create massive destruction, large buildings 350 miles away were affected, the various seismic waves were felt for thousands of miles, the enormous roar of the earthquake was deafening.
Large thick clouds of sulfur were coming out of the earth, & earthquakes can do incredible things, 5 hours later at 7:00 AM another seismic shake continued for hours as large buildings and homes were swallowed inside ground.
Then 4 hours later at 11:00 AM a large seismic wave shook New Madrid Missouri to pieces it lasted over 12 hours, then enormous sand blows 100 feet high started coming out of the earth, the enormity of the sand blows saturated the surroundings with massive deadly fumes and other debris of horrific nature.
The intensity of the earthquake have the Mississippi river to them flow backwards, the backward flow of the river flooded places which was never flooded before, it forced many people to higher ground, 3000 miles of the Mississippi river broke and fell apart and killed everything in it's path except for the ball cypress trees along the river bank.
Then on January 3, 1812 another earthquake hit the New Madrid fault lines, the destruction of the Magnitude 8. January 3, earthquake continued for over a month it was the largest set of aftermath shocks America has ever known, it was the wrath of God telling the people to clean up your act. For the second time.
