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).
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 the night of May 19th to the 20th, 1919 the nature powers again have shown their everything destructing violence. The contents of the craterlake of the G.Kelut was suddenly ejected over the craterwalls.
Naar aanleiding van de belangrijke vraag naar zwavel voor ontrattingsdoeleinden, welke destijds van den Dienst der Pest-bestrijding uitging, werd in April 1914 aan den mijningenieur Dr. Ir. J. K. VAN GELDER opgedragen, een voorloopig onder-zoek in te stellen naar den zwavelrijkdom van den krater van den Welirang (res. Pasoeroean), welke opdracht enkele weken later werd gevolgd door eene soortge…
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…
In February of the former year (1898) a very remarkable outburst on the slope of the volcano Lamongan (in the residence Probolinggo on Jawa) had taken place, which by several persons, among others by the Controler of Klakah, A. Ardesch, and the Assisntant-Resident of Lumajang, C.Lok, was observed.
The lamongan is not by destroying catastrophes, such as in Tambora and Krakatau.
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 …
