After the Merapi volcano erupted for the fourth time yesterday, Indonesian officials announced that another 21 volcanoes in the country are working smoldering with increasing levels.
>>>Indonesian volcano can spray for several weeks
>>> Volcano, tsunami Indonesia killed 182 people
Lava and smoke erupted from Merapi volcano on November 1.
AP quoted Syamsul Rizalcho, a government volcanic expert, said Indonesian authorities raised the warning level for 129 other volcanoes, of which two mountains are capable of spraying in the next two weeks and 19 mountains are vibrations are getting stronger.
Meanwhile, there is still no information about casualties in the latest eruption of Merapi volcano on Java island yesterday, but at least 38 people were killed in three eruptions last week of this fire. .
Big bangs emanating from the Merapi volcano accompanied by huge ash clouds. Explosive explosions are still heard from the evacuation camps several kilometers away from the volcano. About 69,000 people were evacuated from the area around Merapi volcano. Now that area is covered with a layer of gray ash.
Indonesia has many active volcanoes in the ground at all times, but Gede Swantika, another government volcanic house, asserts that usually only 5 to 10 volcanoes are at risk of eruption at the newspaper level. Therefore, the 22 smoldering volcanoes at the same time show that geological activity is increasing. Swantika said the activities of many volcanoes began to increase from September 2.
Pall Einarsson, a geophysicist at the University of Iceland, said the increased geological activity could be a sign that volcanoes impact each other. This is a very new hypothesis for volcanic experts, but scientists have found plenty of evidence of the interaction between volcanoes near each other.
