Assalamu Alaikum W. W. Kalaulah ada saksi hidup yang mau bercerita betapa dahsyatnya gempa tahun 1883 (Krakatau)- juga kalaulah ada technology video atau film tt gempa dahsyat tsb., mungkin tsunami yang sekarang ini lebih kecil dibanding dengan kejadian 121 tahun yang lalu. Iseng-iseng bundo surfing dan ketemu yang dibawah ini. Juga tanggal 26 tanggal untuk gempa. (26 August 1883 Krakatau, 26 Desember 2003 Iran - setahun yang lalu) dan 26 Des 2004 - Asian Tsunami).
KRAKATAU, INDONESIA (1883) OVERVIEW Early in the morning of May 20, 1883, the captain of the German warship Elizabeth reported seeing an ~11-km-high cloud of ash and dust rising above the uninhabited island of Krakatau, thus documenting the first eruption from this Indonesian island in at least two centuries. Over the ensuing two months, crews on commercial vessels and sightseers on charted ships would experience similar spectacles, all of which were associated with explosive noises and churning clouds of black to incandescent ash and pumice. From a distance, the largest of these natural fanfares impressed the local inhabitants on the coastal plains of Java and Sumatra, creating a near-festive environment. Little did they realize, however, that these awe-inspiring displays were only a prelude to one of the largest eruptions in historic times. A series of cataclysmic explosions began at mid-day on August 26, and ended on August 27 with a stupendous paroxysmal eruption. On this day, the northern two-thirds of the island collapsed beneath the sea, generating a series of devasting pyroclastic flows and immense tsunamis that ravaged adjacent coastlines. The events that began on August 26 would mark the last 24 hours on earth for over 36,000 people, and the destruction of hundreds of coastal villages and towns. ____________________________________________________ Berhenti/mengganti konfigurasi keanggotaan anda, silahkan ke: http://rantaunet.org/palanta-setting ------------------------------------------------------------ Tata Tertib Palanta RantauNet: http://rantaunet.org/palanta-tatatertib ____________________________________________________
