The eruptions, which in the course of 1924 took place in Kavah Baru, were all of relative short duration. In many cases the activity was restricted to the geyserlike spouting-up of mud from one of the crater openings, which in the course of 1923 were born. Sometines also new craterlats were formed, or except mud also stones were ejected. Naturally the gaspressure at lastnaned eruptions was much…
Phenomena which would indicate on an increased activity on the Kelut were not observed during 1924 and in the beginning of 1925. A fow light earthshocks, which were felt in the lowercamp, appeared to be of tectonic origin.
In 1885 a part of the southen collapse due to the pressure of the lava in the Semeru
Although several times from the surroundings of the Lamongan nevs arrived on eruptions of the volcano, after further investigation appeared, that the observed abnormal phonomena are not to be ascribed to volcanic activity.
Of more importance than the flank eruptions are the excentric eruptions, which are fed from a much more deeper lavaniveau than the first mentioned, whereas the breakthrough mostly takes place in the area of the volcano foot. Also excentric eruptions may entirely independently become active fron the main crater, which at flankeruptions is not likely possible. Also the phenomena, with which excen…
At the end of February 1920 by the Sectionhead of the Irrigation at Lumajang was reported, that in that month an abnormal drop of the waterlevel of the Ranu's Klakah and Pakis had taken place. If the Ranu Klakah in normal times always flowed through his nator al outlet, at present it is not like this, as the lake level has drop till 1.5 m below the outlet This even happens during the full W …
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…
