Also, waste is dumped anywhere, even in the city where many people are living. The second pollution problem is sea pollution.

In the Pacific Ocean there are many volcanoes. Their tops form islands. The rich volcanic soil grows fruit and vegetables abundantly. People do not find it difficult to live on these islands, for the abundant plant life makes food easy to get and warm climate makes heavy clothing and well-built houses unnecessary. In August 1883, the peaceful island of Krakatoa lay in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. The native people were going about their daily tasks, giving little thought to the mountain which towered above their island home. Almost without warning, there came a terrific explosion, probably the most gigantic ever seen by man. In an instant, the mountain disappeared in a mighty cloud of dust. Huge masses of lava were thrown in every direction. The force of the explosion sent out the giant water wave 100 feet high. It swept along the shores of nearby islands, completely destroyed more than two hundred villages. Thousands of people were killed either by the explosion or the wave. 1. The passage is mainly about life on the peaceful islands in the Pacific Ocean. 2. The volcanic soil on these islands is good for plants and trees. 3.
