This , My Latest Book, is another experiment. After sixty years of volcanoes I have learned reversal of preconceived notions. Gradually I have learned a totally different approach. Shaler of Harvard was my inspirer, worker in the wonder of swamp and ice and sea beaches.
The eminent volcanologist T.A. Jaggar in no way exaggerated the significance of volcanic phenomena when je stated that his conception of volcanicity was of a process which is everywhere at work within and beneath the earth’s crust. Today there are more than 500 volcanoes which are still active or at which activity has been recorded during historic times, while the number of extinct volcanoes,…
The wavefields generated by strombolion activity are investigated using data from small-aperture (120-600 m) seismic arrays deployed on the north flank of Stromboli and data from seismic and pressure transducers set up near the summit crater.
Tama lakes area is located in the saddle between Mt. Ngauruhoe and Mt. Ruapehu Tongariro Volcanic Centre, Taupo Volcanic Zone. The TVZ is situated about 80 km above the westward-dipping Wadati-Benioff zone where the Pasific plate is being subducted beneath TVZ crust.
Merapi volcano, located at Central Java - Indonesia, is one of the most active volcano in the world. Since 1006, about 60 cycle of activity were reported. During the 100 years, more than 24 activities recorded in detail. Dome formation and pyroclastic flow have been occurred in turns.
The Ijen caldera complex is located in an active tectonic region, where the Indian plate is now sliding approximately northward beneath Java at about 6-7 cm/yr. This study is in two parts, the firs is detailed field mapping and includes a geological map and stratigraphy, which form the basis for other work. The second concentrates on the post-caldera pyroclastic deposits.
The Guntur-Gandapura Volcanic Complex is part of a clustur of active volcanoes forming a chain in the southern part of West Java, regionally belonging to the western part of the Sunda arc. The Complex, 60 km center (2.249 m) being the highest peak and Guntur cone (1.950 m) the most active and the youngest cone of the Complex.
The volcanic rocks mainly consist of lava flows and pyroclastic deposits that are exposed at the bridgewater, Nelson and Grant volcanis compoxes. Yhe pyroclastic deposits resulting from phreatomagmatic eruption varu in physical characteristics that are likely caused by fluctuation of magma/water ratio during interaction.
This thesis describes the result of a geochemical study concering the causes and consenquences of a natural form of environmental pollution that is associated with volcanic activity. Concentrations of chemical elemetns strongly exceed common geological background levels in the study area near Patuha volcano, West Java, Indonesia.
Condensates, silica tube sublimates and incrustations were sampled from high temperature fumaroles (500 - 800°C) and lava sample were collected at Merapi Volcano, Indonesia in Jan - Feb. 1984).
