Pumice flow of the 1883 Krakatau eruption occurs It at Small Rakata, Rakata and Sertung Islands, those which roughly correspond to the wall of Krakatau caldera, Indonesia. significantly differs in both mineral and chemical compositions against any other volcanic rock or ejecta of the Krakatau Group, those of which belong to Miyashiro's (1974) tholeiitic series. Meanwhile, lithic fragments of gr…
Krakatau Volcanic Complex located in Sunda Strait, Indonesia, erupted catastrophically in 1883. The eruption was preceeded by the increasing number of seismicity during the last 7 years prior to the eruption. The initial stage of the eruption was indicated by the ash outburst of Perbu- atan volcano in May and followed by another activity in the area south of Danan Volcano in July, 1883. Ashes i…
Krakatau's eruptive activity reawakened as sub marine on December 29 1927, and after several brief or longer cyclus of erosion and denudation the volcano finally rose above sea level definetly between Augst 11 and September 10. 1930 as Anak Krakatau IV.
The summit of G. Merapi is formed by a lava-plug; a cratershaped decline, such as the most volcanoes possess, is not present. However it is known,-thanks to the many interest, with which the G. Herapi in the pant century obtained, that the volcano in another stage of eruptive activity certainly owed such a cratershaped decline.
When we venture a calculation of the amount of the ejected ash and punice, then it goes without saying, that we can only estimate. The statements concerning the amount of the fallen-down ash, are mostly inaccurate and incomplete. Moreover, when we are willing to fix the correct amount of ash, we ought to know the specific gravity and to take into account the thickness of the locally fallen ash …
The outbursts are always accompannied by gaseruptions, which escape with thrumbling noise and the foraing of flash of lightnings. From the stories of Junghuhn (see p.95-96) appears, that during earlier outbursts the thunder claps were observed till great distances from the crater (Kalimantan) (Fron Banjarmasin this time also detonations were reported from the Kelut outburst). Also during there …
Krakatau was studied from September 10 - 12. The 1883 eruption produced a large non - walded ignimbrite deposit (ash - flow) which covers large areas of Rakata, Sertung and Rakata Islands. We landed on all three islands at accesible points and axamined coastal exposures of the 1883 deposit.
Setelah mengalami masa dorman sejak tahun 1911 (87 tahun), Gunung Ibu mengalami erupsi menerus sejak tahun 1998 hingga saat ini. Pada periode erupsi ini, aktivitas Gunung Ibu sangat dinamis. Data kegempaan menunjukkan kontinyuitas aktivitas suplai magma, erupsi, pembentukan kubah lava, dan guguran yang saling berkesinambungan. Di samping itu, data aktivitas termal dari citra MODIS juga menunjuk…
Renewed activities started on March 13 with an eruption, soon succeeded by bigger scale eruptions acoompanied by ejection of incandes cent lava fragments. Ash showers fell along the western coast of java adn sometimes on the Southern coast of Sumatera, depanding on the prevailing winds.
The type of eruption of the Batur Volcano is a typical phenomenon for volcanoos which is starting renewed activity with new foamed, like saltic lava after having experience caldera forming
