The shape of the Agung-volcano - as a "rain-catcher" itself - showed how regularly the rains were pouring down in the surroundings of its summit depending upon the wind direction. Initially the wind was blowing from the East, then it gradually changed into a mix-direction before it kept its steady direction from the West. Owing to the topography of the volcano the first lahars set into motion b…
Let us assume that the permanent volcannic activity is a (steady) state of some regions in the earth's crust. This state is characterised by the rising of hot molten magma and/or by a greater than normal geothermal flow. The latter is accompanied by many secondary phenomena. Differences (cradionts) in pressure and in density of fluids will occur, and mechanical energy will be given off, appeari…
The catastropic eruption of Agung Volcano on the Island of Bali, Indonesia, in March 1963, caused the loss of more than 1,500 lives and extremely heavy economic loss of more than 5,000,000,000 Rupiahs.

Mt.Agung -also called "Peak of Bali"- is situated in the eastern part of the world famous island of Bali. This volcano had been quiet for about 120 years until it started a renewed activity on 18 February 1963 culminating with a paroxysmal eruption on 17 March.

Pada hari itu djam 06.15 terlihat semburan lebih besar, berapi dan memidjar serta gemuruh keras. Pada tanggal 22 Februari 1963 diterima lagi tilpun dar…
Pembelajaran kegunungapian serta mengetahui perkembangan gunungapi yang ada di sekitar masyarakat sangat diperlukan. Hal ini dikarenakan aktivitas gunungapi tidak dapat di kontrol oleh manusia, namun hanya bisa dilakukan pencegahan terhadap kerusakan dan bahaya yang besar yang diakibatkan oleh aktivitas tersebut.
Saat ini terdapat beberapa metode pemantauan aktivitas gunungapi, yaitu: seismik, deformasi, kimia gas, termal, dan inderaja. Gunung Agung yang terdapat di sisi utara Pulau Bali tercatat sudah mengalami erupsi sejak tahun 1808.
