The actively growing area was located in the right (northern) part of the extrusive dome and had not been observed during the previous months. It now appeared reaching over the edge of the explosive crater, forming a "dome on top of a dome". ...moreToday at 19:00 local time Volcanic Ash Advisory Center (VAAC) Tokyo recorded an explosion that generated an ash plume, which reached approx. 12,000 ft (3,700 m) altitude and drifted SE.

Have a look!  Introduction to Plate Tectonics: The Earth's upper, rigid layer is broken into several plates which are in constant motion to one another. Most earthquakes and volcanoes occur as result of these plate boundaries.  Eruption from close: On 17 Oct, explosions were particularly violent at Anak Krakatau. We show a series of images of a spectacular explosion captured from close range by boat. |
