Today, we are geologists! Join us for Volcanoes Part 4 - Krakatoa! Krakatoa was the first global disaster where the globe knew what was happening - erupting in 1883, telegraphs and undersea cables brought the news to the entire planet faster than previously imagined possible. Thousands died in the pumice, the fires, and most of all, the Tsunamis that ravaged the islands while the world waited for news in horror.
But does that make us geologists? No, but this does! -- We also learn that we didn't know about Tectonic Plates until 1965!!!! Which is insane since that's the first thing you learn in Earth Science. More on Continental Drift, etc. in the episode!
