During the months of January and February the activities which start ed since March 1974 still continued. A minor ash eruptions took place once. Thick bluish white ash column was discharged with moderated pressure until some 500 meters above the orator
The purpose of this report is to indicate the exixtence of a phreato-magnetic volcanic center in the densely populated area south of Cirebon city. On July 6 and July 29, 1988, I examined the geology of the area near the reservoir (waduk) Setu Patok , located 8 km south of Cirebon city (Figure 1) [108 degrees, 47', 10" S; topographic map, 1966 series, sheet 4722 IV, Tjirebon].
Volcanoes are unquestionably one of the most spectacular and awe inspiring features of the physical world, and they have provided humanity with the most exquisite pleasure as well as the most devastating misfortune. The loftiest mountains on the face of the earth, affording majestic scenery enjoyed by millions, are volcanic cones.
This book will interest not only geologists and students of volcanoes, but all those also who have a lively interest in landforms as natural phenomena. Dr. Cotton’s emphasis is on the study of volcanoes as landscape forms, beginning with the mechanism of volcanism – the types of eruption and the various kinds of volcanoes and proceeding with a discussion of the several types of landscape wh…
Viewing an erupting volcano is a memorable experience, one that has inspired fear, superstition, worship, curiosity and fascination throughout the history of mankind. In modern times, volcanic phenomena have attracted intense scientific interest, because they provide the key to understanding processes that have created and shaped more than 80 percent of the Earth’s surface.
The spectacle of explosive volcanic activity has always struck us with a sense of fascination and awe. Stories of the last days of Pompeii and Herculaneum, the massive eruption of Krakatau, and more recently the destruction wrought by Mount St. Helens in Washington and El Chinchon in Mexico have captured the public imagination. This atlas examines the aftermath of such events by looking at the …
On May 18, 1980 after 2 months of local earthquakes and steam eruptions, picturesque Mount St. Helens, a Cascade Range volcano is southwestern Washington, suddenly began a major explosive eruption directed first northward and then upward. The lateral blast, which lasted only the first few minutes of a 9 hour continuous eruption, devastated more than 150 square miles of forest and recreation are…
Volcanic activity is one of the main agents responsible for shaping the landscape, environment and climate of planets and moons. On Earth, volcanic eruption can also have catastrophic consequences for human society.
In the later summer, 1981, the international symposium on “Arc Volcanism” was held in Tokyo and Hakone under the sponsorship of the volcanological society of Japan and the International Association of volcanology and chemistry of the Earth’s Interior (IAVCEI). More than 400 scientists attended the symposium and about 220 papers were read during the main session from August 31 through Sep…
This study was conducted in a joint project on physical volcanology between Gadjah Mada University Yogyakarta, Indonesia and the Institute of Geophysics, University of Stuttgart, Federal Republic of Germany.
