The most remarkable phenomenon, which is observed at the Lamongan, which apart from it, in whole Jawa is never seen at no single volcano, is the amount of small lakes which are situated on several distances from each other, but are surrounding the cone volcano in a line following each other in a wide circle.
After the December eruption 1930, the laducourses of Merapi Volcano, Central Java previously showed no water circulation, expect at big rainfall, which caused shorthliving banjirs.
The ladumasses were deeper cut in the course of the mouths and it appears always clearer, that they were built of a heterogen, lightbrown colored sand mass, where in-between irregularly scattered, the stones occurred as individuals or as bouldertrails.
Almost all authors are the opinion, that the well - known wedusgembel, which caused death and destruction on the western slope of the Merapi, originated from the hot lava avalanches (glowing avalanches), which rolled down along the slides, whereas 'shout-out' wedusgmbel have not taken place.
In 1885 a part of the southen collapse due to the pressure of the lava in the Semeru
On October 12, 1920 the inhabitants of the most high laying kampungs in the vicinity of the Blongkengravine were surprised by hot dustclouds and were killed by the burns. It appeared inmediately, that there was no outburst at all, as the summit slopes of the Merapi were, as far as they were overgrown in August and September, were still green as before (the reports from news papers concerning th…
As far as we can conclude from the volcanial history of the G.Kelut, after each out burst a craterlake was formed (Potrait of the Craterlake among others in 'Geweldige Natuurkrachten' by Vissering in J.v.h. Minjnwezen 1907, Verhandeling Hugo Cool and a.m).
In accordance with Lorie and Prof. Behrens we have determined all collected samples as real basalts. The microscopic praeparates only show difference in relative number and size of the separated crystalls between them, and with respect to the groundmass, also in his capacity of the groundmass itself. As conson with basalt, the olivine exclusively appears as porphyric separation and not in the g…
