information and fact

Merapi (peak height of 2968 m above sea level, per 2006) is a volcano in central Java and is one of the most active volcanoes in Indonesia. The mountain is very dangerous because, according to modern records have erupted (peak activity) every two to five years and is surrounded by very dense settlements.

 

Mount merapi is the youngest mountain in a series of volcanoes that leads south from Mount Ungaran. The mountain is formed by the subduction zone activity in the Indo-Australian Plate is moving under the Eurasian Plate led to the emergence of volcanic activity along the central part of Java Island.
Geologists in 2006 detected a giant space beneath merapi containing materials such as mud that is “significantly impede the vibration waves of an earthquake”. Scientists estimate that the magma material. Pockets of magma is part of the formation formed by the Indo-Australian Plate which plunged down the Eurasian Plate.
Mount merapi at the top is never overgrown vegetation due to high activity.
Plant species at the top of the typical type of alpina mountains of Java, such as Rhododendron and edeweis java. There is a little down bamboo forests and mountains of tropical plants.

Slopes of Merapi, especially below 1,000 m, is the home of two national superior cultivars of salak, which is barked ‘Pondoh’ and ‘Nglumut’.

Eruption in 2010
The first eruption occurred at around 17:02 pm on October 26. At least up to three times the eruption occurred. Volcanic eruptions eject material as high as approximately 1.5 miles and accompanied the release of heat clouds which swept Kaliadem, Kepuharjo Village, District Cangkringan, Sleman. and killed 43 people, plus a baby from Magelang who died because of respiratory problems. Since then regurgitated hot clouds started happening irregularly. Starting October 28, Mount Merapi spewed lava which appeared almost simultaneously with the discharge of hot clouds at 19:54 pm. Next start a fire point of silence was observed at the peak on November 1, marking a new phase that magma has reached the pit crater

Strong eruption 5 November followed by a high activity for about a week, before there was a slight decrease in activity, but the security status remains “Beware”. On 15 November 2010 to limit the danger radius of Magelang regency reduced to 15 km and to two other districts of Central Java became 10 km. Just for the District.
