The Agung Mountains, Bali

The Agung mountains, found in Bali are predicted to erupt soon. It is based on the cracks that occur due to the strong earthquakes that occur lately.

             "The presence of fractures shows the source of the eruption energy getting closer                  to the surface," Agung said

         

             "Mount Agung is ready to erupt, the center of the eruption is approaching," said                      Head of Volcano Mitigation Center of Volcanology and Geological Hazard                              Mitigation, I Gede  Suantika.

             "Smoke seen from a distance means the concentration of pressure fluctuation is                    greater, it also means that there is an extension of the fracture," Suantika                              confirmed that the possibility of Mount Agung will erupt.

It also adds that if the lantern happens, the lava flow will come out through the existing fracture crack. But he said it was not certain when the eruption would occur.

Head of Division Volcano Mitigation, Devi Kemil also confirmed the news, he said there is a tear or fracture in the crater of Mount Agung. The tear is visible from satellite images that monitor the mountain.

Based on the science, the cracks can form other cracks to make more holes where the magma out. In addition, if a large number of cracks are formed and close together, it may lead to new or larger openings and the effect of larger eruptions, possibly.
