| 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.
"In the
middle there is a small tear and there is smoke coming out from there, cause it
is because there is an earthquake that we feel all the time." said Devi Kemil
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.
The Agung mountains observation results from 00:00 AM to 06:00 AM (GMT + 8 hours) :
- Earthquake: 170 times
- The deep volcanic earthquake: 125 times
- Shallow volcanic earthquake: 40 times
- Local tectonic earthquake: 5 times
