2010 Eruption of Mount Merapi

Merapi eruption in 2010 was more rapid and dangerous than the same event occurred in 2006. Distance determination Cautions and eruption status no less than 35 hours.

There is a difference of energy accumulation. Peak shape is also different because of the eruption is bigger and faster, also at greater risk.

In 2006, there was no crater in the southern part of Merapi. But in 2010, the opening was found. Though the distance Kaliadem close to the peak settlement of about 4 km.

Merapi eruption is estimated that currently has a type of pure Vulcano eruptive eruptive patterns tend to be vertically and sprayed in different directions.

Compared to the condition of Merapi, 2006, Merapi energy collected at this time is greater. Therefore, the process cepat.Jika was 3-4 km (the distance lava) are now tens of kilometers. And we do not know already finished or not (energy expenditure). So we have to wait to put forward the principle of prudence.

When the eruption in 2006, formed the lava dome. It was as a result of the magnitude of energy currently owned Merapi, which is inserted into the outer volcanic magma into the dome. Normally unstable lava dome, so landslides. When there is a glowing dome of lava that's happening hot clouds.

alert status of Merapi is set on Monday (25/10) at 06.00 hrs and the mountain erupted the next day at 17:02 pm. While in 2006, when Mbah Maridjan moncer for the first time, distance and eruption Beware eat valuable time-to-day. The death toll was at that time there are 2 people, whereas this year in Sleman there are more than 100 people, including Mbah Maridjan.

not only that loss maerial we can see in the video. we all should take a lesson from all this natural occurrence.
