The explosion of Krakatoa is actually still less than the eruption of Mount Toba and Mount Tambora in Indonesia, Mount Tanpo in New Zealand and Mount Katmal in Alaska. However, these mountains erupted deep at a time when the human population is still very small. Meanwhile, when Mount Krakatoa erupted, the human population is dense enough, science and technology has evolved, the telegraph has been found, and the submarine cable has been installed. Thus it can be said that while information technology is growing and developing rapidly.

Noted that the eruption of Krakatoa was the first major disaster in the world after the invention of the telegraph under the sea. Progress is, unfortunately, not been matched by progress in the field of geology. The geologist was not even able to provide a description of the eruption which erupted tersebut.Gunung Kratau, vibration felt through Europe.
