Since the 15th century, Mount Kelut has claimed more than 15,000 people. This eruption in 1586 claimed the lives of over 10,000 inhabitants. eruption in 1919 claimed thousands of lives due to cold lava flood swept settlements.
In the 20th century, Mount Kelut recorded eruption in 1901, 1919 (May 1), 1951, 1966, and 1990. In 2007 the mountain was again increased its activity. This pattern brings experts volcano on 15-year cycle for this eruption.
Mount Merapi
Mount Merapi is the youngest in a collection of volcanoes in the southern island of Jawa.Letusan-small eruptions occur every 2-3 years, and the larger about 10-15 years. Merapi eruptions are among other big impact in the years 1006, 1786, 1822, 1872, and 1930. Major eruption in 1006 made the whole middle part of Java Island shrouded in gray.
It is estimated, the eruption caused the ancient Mataram kingdom have moved to East Java. The explosion in 1930 destroyed 13 villages and killed 1400 people.Mount Galunggung
Mount Galunggung ever recorded erupted in 1882 (VEI = 5). The early signs are known eruption in July 1822, where the water becomes turbid and muddy Cikunir. Results of the crater showed that the turbid water is hot and sometimes appear in the column of smoke from the crater.
Then on October 8, s.d. October 12, the eruption of reddish sand produces rain very hot, fine ash, hot clouds and lava. Lava flow moving to the southeast following the river flows. This explosion killed 4011 people and 114 villages destroyed, with damage to the land to the east and south as far as 40 miles from the mountaintop.
Krakatoa
Krakatoa is a volcanic archipelago that are still active and located in the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra. This name was ever pinned on a volcanic peak there (Mount Krakatau) which vanish because of the eruptions themselves on 26-27 August 1883.
The eruption was so powerful; hot clouds and the resulting tsunami killed about 36,000 people. Until before the date of December 26, 2004, this tsunami is that terdahsyat in the Indian Ocean region. The sound explosion was heard up in Alice Springs, Australia and the island of Rodrigues near Africa, 4653 miles. Yield is estimated at 30,000 times the atomic bomb that was detonated in Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II.
Krakatau eruption caused global climate change. The world was dark for two and a half days due to volcanic ash that covered the atmosphere. The sun was shining dim until next year. Scattering of dust visible in the sky Norway to New York.
Noted that the eruption of Krakatoa was the first major disaster in the world after the invention of the submarine telegraph.
Toba Supervolcano
Volcanic eruption is the most powerful of this Earth has ever known. And nearly destroyed generations of mankind on this planet.
73,000 years ago, the eruption of the Supervolcano in Indonesia nearly destroyed all of humanity. Only a few have survived. And after Tsunami Volcano In Indonesia became active once again and threatens humankind.
This eruption can not be compared with anything that has been experienced on earth since the time when humans could walk upright. Compared with the supervolcano Toba, Krakatau even that caused ten thousand deaths in 1883 is just a small burp.
As has been known by scientists, toba nearly exterminate the human race 73,000 years lalu.Bersamaan with huge tsunami waves, there are 2800 cubic kilometers of ash released, which spread throughout the earth's atmosphere.
Although Toba is still far away and safe sleeping under a great ocean which bears the same name in North Sumatra. many people are afraid if one day the active volcano in the Gutters is located 300 kilometers south of the Toba eruption, could awaken a sleeping giant.
