Animation description:

The eruption that split an island and changed Earth's future was a massive volcanic blast that literally tore an island apart. This eruption, like the famous Krakatoa eruption in 1883, was so powerful that it created a huge crater, or caldera, and sent ash and gases high into the atmosphere. It wasn’t just about the island splitting; the eruption caused tsunamis and dramatic weather changes worldwide. The ash blocked out sunlight, leading to cooler temperatures for months, affecting crops and weather patterns across the globe. It’s a perfect example of how one big natural event can have a ripple effect on the entire planet. This eruption not only changed landscapes but also reshaped history by impacting economies, environments, and lives everywhere.
