[70], The death toll was reported to be over 153 by 9 November with at least 320,000 people reported to have been evacuated to emergency shelters. Instead, these mountains are formed by erosion. The bodies of another two members of the response team, known as Tagana, were yet to be found or recovered. The current eruption began in 1987. [54] Surono also said that said the distension of the mountain's slopes was much more rapid this time around, indicating a higher-pressure build-up of gas and hence a much more explosive eruption and speculated that Merapi may erupt explosively, as it did in 1930, and not just eject gas as in 2006 eruptions. At the meeting he reaffirmed his support of the Badan Koordinasi Nasional Penanganan Bencana- (Indonesian Disaster Management Office) and their administration and control of the disaster response. Geologists estimate that the volcano started forming 400,000. Volcanologists reported the eruptions on Friday 5 November to be the biggest since the 1870s and officials announced by loudspeaker that the mountain's danger zone had been expanded to 20 km (12 mi) from the crater. Observers at Babadan 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) west and Kaliurang 8 km (5.0 mi) south of the mountain reported hearing an avalanche on 12 September 2010. Pujobroto, vice president of corporate communications, Garuda Indonesia announced that with flight conditions between Yogyakarta and Solo also still uncertain, flights from Yogyakarta will not be diverted to Solo and reiterated that there had not been any official declaration that Soekarno Hatta airport had been affected by Merapi's volcanic ashes and nor was it closed down. On 19 September 2010 earthquakes continued to be numerous, and the next day CVGHM raised the Alert Level to 2 (on a scale of 1–4). "Most of the initial eruptions threw the ash south toward Sleman in Yogyakarta, but now it's blowing west toward Magelang in Central Java," Surono said. The upward folds are known as anticlines, and the downward folds are synclines. The measurement results indicated a rapidly increasing rate of growth of the lava dome in the buildup to the eruptive events of 25–26 October 2010. According to head of medical services at the UAE Interior Ministry Brig. However, many remained behind or returned to their homes while the eruptions were continuing. The damaged areas included the Merapi National Park, community forests and the farms and plantations of the local people. The Indonesian Disaster Management Office reported that volcanic ash from Merapi was falling in Jakarta and some nearby areas such as Bogor and Puncak on Saturday the night of 6 November but only in very light falls. Merapi (“Mountain of Fire”) rises to 9,551 feet (2,911 metres) and has steep slopes with dense vegetation on its lower flanks. [49], In late November Mount Merapi still remained on alert due to threats in the form of hot clouds and lava. Other mountains are formed by the earth's crust rising into a dome, or by volcanic activity when the crust cracks open. The volcano remained a level 4 alert with a recommendation of a "Caution" level being adopted.

Lt Col Soekoso Wahyudi, chief of the Boyolali district military command, was reported by Antara news as saying the explosions this time were louder than those of Sunday evening 31 October. formed by volcanoes. Fold mountains are formed when two plates collide head on, and their edges crumbled, much the same way as a piece of paper folds when pushed together. At some point, Merapi for 15 years, said the volcanic activity appeared to be easing pressure behind a lava dome that had formed in the crater. Often fault-block mountains have a steep front side and a sloping back side. The 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo The 2000 eruption of Popocatepetl The 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallojokull The 2010 eruption of Mt Merapi. A pyroclastic flow headed toward Gendol River, Kuning River, Krasak River, and Boyong River. Sulfatara smoke was visible from several posts and avalanches were observed. Black soot fell across a vast area. [41], On Thursday 11 November, ash continued to spread over western Java and was falling just short of Jakarta, according to the Volcanic Ash Advisory Center in Darwin, Australia. It was however later reported to have suffered from blade tip rubbing[84] and was not apparently damaged by volcanic ash ingestion. Jakarta's Soekarno-Hatta airport normally handles around 900 flights per day and a spokesman for Soekarno-Hatta Airport, confirmed that the capital's airport remained fully open. Another body in Banjarsari hamlet was found by an Army Special Forces (Kopassus) team. Mount Merapi is thought to have produced more lava flow than any other volcano anywhere in the world. [64] Bronggang, 14.5 km (9.0 mi) from the crater, had been designated as a safe zone. [18] One of these PMI volunteers, Tutur Priyanto had died on the slopes on 26 October. Yogyakarta's Adisucipto International Airport was closed on many occasions in early November due to limited visibility and ash falls upon the runway, taxiway and terminal aprons. The rock layers over the hardened magma are warped upward to form the ... We hope it will release slowly," he said. [85], On 3 November Garuda Indonesia diverted its embarkation point for Hajj pilgrims from Solo to Surabaya to keep flights from being delayed by volcanic ash from the erupting Mount Merapi. "That's actually a good sign because it means the volcano is releasing all its pent-up energy more quickly. Eruptions were still being reported by PVMPG on 26 November but occurring with decreased intensity to those earlier in the month. A Search and Rescue (SAR) team discovered the bodies at 06:00 at the Glagaharjo barracks. "[94], Department of Air Transport's Director General Herry Bakti announced on 8 November that flights in and out of Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta had returned to normal. Speaking on Indonesia's Metro TV network he said, "this is the first time that the eruption has continued for more than an hour, so I decided to move the shelters to 15 km (9.3 mi) away from the summit". Figure 1: Mount Merapi, Indonesia. The team reported recovering four bodies and seeing one further. It's been fluctuating but tends to be in the high intensity range. Later that day, Subandrio, head of the BPPTK suggested there would be further eruptions as magma continued to push its way up into the volcano's lava dome. They died due to exposure to pyroclastic flows from Mount Merapi on Friday at 01:00 in the morning. Ash falls reached as far as the Central Java town of Magelang. [30], Merapi erupted strongly early Friday morning. [34], On 17 November Dr Surono, head of the Volcanology and Geological Disaster Management Agency CVGHM (PVMBG) reported that Merapi was still spewing ash and rock. MEMOIRS about husband P.J..C. Vedder, a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education. [5], The eruptions and subsequent volcanic ash plumes caused extensive disruption to aviation movements across central and western Java in early November. It was cautioned that volcanic ash could cause breathing difficulties, particularly for people with chronic respiratory ailments such as asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis with a further caution that volcanic activity at Mount Merapi was continuing and could lead to further disruptions to international and domestic flights to locations throughout Indonesia. Heri Prawoto, the head of the district's Disaster Management Office was reported as saying that "there is still the possibility that some areas in Magelang will be impacted by volcanic debris". Over 350,000 people were evacuated from the affected area. Yogyakarta's Disaster Management Agency reported in late November that there were about 500 reported cases of eruption survivors in Sleman district suffering from minor to severe psychological problems, and about 300 cases in Magelang. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another. It's a stratovolcano, also known as a composite volcano. The alert level for the remained at level 4 and the official exclusion zone was a radius 20 km (12 mi) from the summit of Mount Merapi. "It may cost more and use up more fuel, but safety comes first. Air transportation was affected for flights from and to Yogyakarta and Solo. [15], By early on the morning of Saturday 30 October the volcano was erupting again. Another five people who were being treated for burns died. Reports by the Bureau of Meteorology Climatology and Geophysics (BMKG), detailed the tectonic earthquake as measuring 5.6 on the Richter scale (SR) at 14:03:27. American continental plate and the oceanic "We have already prepared alternative routes for all flights," he said. "If you look at the mountain's peak at night, you'll notice three small glowing points," Surono said. Earlier on 27 October two of the 28 bodies at the hospital had been identified. The uplifted area created by rising magma is called a [46], On 10 November 2010 the eruptive intensity was noticed to subside, despite that the volcano's activity remained high with recurring pyroclastic flows. [20] Mount Merapi erupted at 10:10 local time Monday morning spewing hot clouds and dark fog masses in easterly direction punctuated by loud explosions. On 6 November the official exclusion zone was at radius 20 km (12 mi) from the summit of Mount Merapi. On 3 December 2010 the official alert status was reduced to level 3, from level 4, as the eruptive activity had subsided. The exclusion zone did not include the metropolitan areas of Yogyakarta or Adisucipto International Airport However the Indonesian Government advised that Adisucipto International Airport would be closed until at least 20 November. Rock and lava pile up, layer on top of layer. Lesson Objectives. PMI also provided meals for 1,000 displaced people in the Dompol camp. Ashfall was noted in some nearby areas. Herry Bakti Gumay, Director General of air transportation, stated on 4 November that the warning released to all airlines operating flights into Yogyakarta would not be withdrawn until conditions returned to normal. "[55], On 26 October at least 18 people, including a two-month-old baby, were found dead due to burns and respiratory failure caused by hot ashes from the eruption.

The Southern Alps are constantly changing because the Pacific Plate is being pushed down under the Australian Plate and that causes the Alps to rise up. An additional 151 people were reported as injured and admitted to four Yogyakarta hospitals. After making many trips he returned for a further ascent at 15:00 to assist others to come off the mountain and died during one of the subsequent eruptive events. [23] The Darwin VAAC reported that a possible eruption on 1 November produced an ash plume that rose to an altitude of 6.1 km (20,000 ft) a.s.l., according to ground-based reports, analyses of satellite imagery, and web camera views.

Yogyakarta residents and evacuees were reminded that the threat of pyroclastic ash clouds and lahar floods remained. It had been observed earlier that day travelling 150 nautical miles to the north west as it had the day prior. [25], On 2 November several airlines including Garuda, AirAsia and SilkAir with international flights to both Yogyakarta and Solo were either suspended or re-routed due to the eruptive activity. [82] Acting upon information derived from MSTAT imagery on 19 November VAAC, Darwin notified of an ash plume observed at a height of 15,000 feet (4,600 m - F150), extending 40 nmi (74 km) to the west of the mountain. Yogyakarta's Adisucipto Airport was closed temporarily between 05:00 to 07:00. The name of our volcano is Mount Merapi. Whether the period will be extended or not will depend on the situation." [78], On Tuesday, 9 November, Indonesian Red Cross chairman Jusuf Kalla encouraged the development of a disaster preparedness curriculum to assist in dealing with natural disasters ("Harus ada kurikulum kebencanaan") through an ongoing training and education. It was made clear by Dr. Surono that only Army Special Forces, specialised Search and Rescue teams, and the Police should be involved in those highly dangerous activities. Then in the Old Merapi era (60,000-80,000 years ago) the body of Merapi is formed but with the un-conical shape of the peak. "[26], Heavy rain during the night of 3–4 November triggered lahars with mixtures of water and rock debris cascading down the Kuning, Gendol, Woro, Boyong, Krasak and Opak Rivers on the slopes of the volcano. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock. In late October 2010, Mount Merapi in Central Java, Indonesia, began an increasingly violent series of eruptions that continued into November.Seismic activity around the volcano increased from mid-September onwards, culminating in repeated outbursts of lava and ashes.

Many children remained separated from their parents due to the chaos surrounding the mass exodus of refugees fleeing from the mountain slopes and the refugees were living in cramped temporary shelters after being ordered to evacuate from a 20-kilometre "danger zone" around Mount Merapi. [66] Describe what volcanic hot spots are and where they occur. [53] By 25 October the average grow rate, measured from 6 EDM points over 24–25 October had risen to 500 mm (20 in) per day.[12]. Molten rock is called magma; rocks formed from magma are called igneous rocks. This mountain is still on the east side of Merapi now.

Subandriyo, head of the Volcano Investigation and Technology Development Institution (Balai Penyelidikan dan Pengembangan Teknologi Kegunungapian) (BPPTK) in Yogyakarta revealed that hot ash clouds during the eruptions of 138 years ago had a maximum reach of only 11–12 km (36,000–39,000 ft), whilst the current eruptions were reaching 14.5 km (48,000 ft). [30] Transportation Minister Freddy Numberi, speaking in Jakarta, said he had instructed airlines to direct all flights crossing Java to the north or south to avoid Merapi. [10], Merapi erupted three times on Monday afternoon spewing lava down its southern and south-eastern slopes. Plumes from the pyroclastic flows rose 1.2 km (0.75 mi), although dense fog made visual observations difficult. The Yogyakarta Kraton subsequently confirmed his death. The Geological Agency provided several recommendations including that there would be no community activities in the disaster prone areas and proclaimed an ongoing exclusion zone of 2.5 km (1.6 mi) radius.[52]. Large eruption columns formed, causing numerous pyroclastic flows down the heavily populated slopes of the volcano. The information gathered at the site indicated that the distension of the mountain's slopes was much more rapid this during the current event than that observed during the 2006 event. [50][51], The mountain was still erupting on 30 November 2010 and the official alert status remained at level 4. Refugees received medical treatment at clinics set up inside the refugee shelters with serious cases despatched to local hospitals, the Mount Merapi refugees were not required to pay for medical treatment.

A layer of ash up to 2.5 centimetres (1 in) thick[99] fell on the temple statues during the eruption of 3–5 November, also killing nearby vegetation, with experts fearing that the acidic ash might damage the historic site. "[30], On 5 November at 05:27 (UTC) the Australian government Bureau of Meteorology (VAAC) issued an ongoing code red Aviation Volcanic Ash Advisory and reported satellite image (MTSAT-2) derived information indicating a volcanic ash plume to FL550 OBS extending 190 nmi (350 km) to the west and southwest of the mountain. The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation (PVMBG) Geological Agency, head officer, Dr Surono announced on 9 November that during the hours of 06:00 to 12:00 eruptive events were continuing with sequential volcanic earthquakes, tremors, avalanches fast moving clouds were still travelling as far as 4 km (2.5 mi) toward the southwest. [87] Yogyakarta's Adisucipto International Airport (JOG) was closed and flights were diverted to Solo's Adisumarmo International Airport (SOC) to the east of Mount Merapi. The Ring of Fire is a direct result of plate tectonics: the movement and collisions of lithospheric plates. Volunteers were reminded to be aware of the mortal danger presented by the pyroclastic clouds and were encouraged to concentrate on assisting the living at the refugee shelters rather than being concerned about the evacuation of the dead from the mountain.

A column of smoke rose from the top to a vertical distance of 1.5 km (4,900 ft) from the summit of Mount Merapi. [38] At 03:02 hot ash clouds flowed in the direction of the Gendol and Woro rivers. It was cautioned that volcanic ash could cause breathing difficulties, particularly for people with chronic respiratory ailments such as asthma, emphysema, or bronchitis.[82]. [12] The first fatalities occurred on this day. In the pre-Merapi stage occurred about 400,000 years ago, before Mount Merapi ever exist, formed the first mountain called Mount Bibi. On 4 November Merapi had been erupting for 24 hours without stopping. Examples of fault-block mountains include: Dome mountains are the result of a great amount of melted rock (magma) pushing its way up under the earth crust. The people of Yogyakarta were also reminded to observe the instructions to remain outside a radius of 20 km (12 mi) from the peak of Merapi. From the previous eruption, Crisis Center MOH reported 42 people died and 103 people were admitted to several health facilities with respiratory difficulties and burn injuries. River of lava and gas clouds flow 3,000 metres down slopes of country’s most active volcano. The PVMPG still set conditions on the status of Merapi at CAUTION (Level 4). On 26 October the head of the Indonesian Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation, Surono, repeated his earlier statements that the greatest concern was the pressure building behind a massive lava dome that has formed near the tip of the crater. Airport operations at Yogyakarta's Adisucipto airport had already been closed or suspended on many occasions due to concerns from ash fall and limited visibility. The threat of immediate danger of eruption continued to be attributed to hot air and ash clouds (awanpanas) with indirect threats attributed to lava ejections. [72] Thousands of evacuees were in limbo in refugee camps, posing a very real threat to their mental health. The current volcano stage is active. [19], The Center for Volcanology and Geological Hazard Mitigation observation outposts at Mount Merapi began observing at 00:00 and concluded at 06:00 and reported no significant visible activity. The shelters had previously been set up 10 km (6.2 mi) away. A bridge was destroyed and riverbanks damaged. [13][14] The International Red Cross reported that on 29 October, from 07:23 to 21:40, pyroclastic flow from Merapi struck Lamat River, Senowo River, and Krasak River.
