As already earlier mentioned the G. Herapi exists of two morphologic clearly to be distinguished parts, an older eastern and a younger western part. From the sunnit of the old ringdike, only a small part remains (see portrait 14), of which the eastern part is named G. Pusunglondon (2694.3 a.s.) and the northern G. Paseban (2679= a.s.). The old volcano mantle of the G. Merapi has grown much more…
The spreading of the Herapi products is of a great agrogeologic Importance, as the Merapi products compared with the rocks of other Java volcanoes are extraordinary fosforrich. Only towards one side these products could develop feely, namely in the plane of Solo, whare they border to that of the Lavu. To the S the spreading was stopped by the southern mountains, only in the area of the kali Opa…
A few volcanoes of Indonesia posses such a voluminous literature lize the G. Kelut. The are less the volcanic phenomena, than the destructions caused by the mudstreams (lahar), which all times attracked attention. It in true that our through knowledge of out bursts does reach farther than until the begin of the ninetienth century, but the literature of that era is so rich of date, that we howev…
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…
Still a single word on the built up of the volcano as appears from the exposures out side the crater. In all ravines visited by the author, this are the lahar Badak, the lahar Siwalan, the Kali Ijir and the lahar ligobo, the number of lava out flows was not to be called a few. On portrait 17 we see more of such andesite break-through exposed in the ravine of the lahar Ngobo. Remarkable is the f…
The history of the outburst of the Kelut is very monotonous. Each eruption has caused Lahans and these mudheaps always Tork retains, desa's destroyed and in the last time also planta terms.
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…
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 …
Shortly after the outburst of May 19 to 20, 1919 tales go the round, that a view person, Europeans as well as natives have forecasted or knew, a coming activity of the Kelut. These people even are able to have observed the precursory symptoms.
According to the traditions the mountains spirit, who is housing in the reality of bleta, is peculiarly malicious and he possesses several mischiefs.
