Revised the following paragraph.
The volcanic explosion of Krakatoa produced a noise. Krakatoa is an Indonesian island. The noise was one of the loudest ever heard. People claimed the noise sounded like a cannon. The people were on the island of Rodriguez. Rodriguez is over 5,000 kilometers away. The volcanic explosion caused tidal waves. The tidal waves traveled over 1,300 kilometers. The tidal waves killed over 36,000 people. For three years people all over the world saw exceptionally brilliant sunsets. Fine dust scattered by the volcano into the atmosphere caused the brilliant sunsets. Krakatoa’s explosion, however, had only one fifth the force of the eruption at Thera. Thera is an island in the Aegean Sea. This eruption probably destroyed the Minoan civilization in 1470 B.C.
