The global and Arab social media environment also flared up following the announcement by the Indonesian authorities on April 10 of a new revolution for one of the volcanoes located in the Sunda Strait region, which is located between the islands of Java and Sumatra and connects the Java Sea and the Indian Ocean.
The son of Krakatau
This volcano is called "Anak Krakatoa" and means "son Krakatoa" in relation to a small island that appeared above the sea in this place in 1927 because of a previous volcano that occurred on a nearby island. It is the volcano "Krakatoa" that erupted in 1883, and it is one of the The most famous volcanoes in all of our history.
And Krakatau volcano is considered to be the loudest voice heard on Earth, to the extent that the sound of the explosion was heard over a distance of five thousand kilometers, and its ashes spread in the atmosphere for years until it affected the colors of the horizon sunset during sunset, and for this reason terror spread globally due to the new volcanic eruption in the same Region.
The Anak Krakatau region is known for its frequent volcanic eruptions. The Anak Krakatau volcano erupted in 2008, but the most disastrous volcanic eruption to date in the 21st century is its last eruption in December 2018.
Watch the volcano's revolution in 2018 ..
The reason for this is that the eruption of the volcano led to a rapid decline of the southwestern part of it, which in turn caused a tsunami wave rising about five meters high towards the nearby Indonesian beaches with a length of about three hundred kilometers, and this caused 437 deaths and injured more than ten thousand others.
Is it really dangerous?
In fact, scientists were expecting a similar activity beginning in January 2019, when the previous crushed volcano had begun to form and rise again, and geological activity appeared indicating that the region is preparing for a new volcanic eruption soon, which is the revolution that we observed on April 10 This April.
But the new eruption of the same volcano is somewhat reassuring. Although the sound of the explosion was heard over a distance of more than 150 km in Jakarta and ash plumes spread more than 15 km away, it did not cause any damage to the surrounding lives or facilities, according to the announcement of the Indonesian authorities. The volcanic eruption subsided after only several hours.

The competent Indonesian bodies have announced that the new volcanic revolution falls within the scope of the expected, even with the potentials of the development of the matter, but it is still not dangerous compared to the incident of 2018, and therefore we do not need to worry about the future of the world as it spreads on social communication, especially in light of Horror due to the emerging Corona virus.
