Name: |
Mt. Batur; |
Note: |
The Batur Caldera is a remnant of a huge volcano. Some of the body of the mountain collapsed due to the devastating eruption, forming a very large crater called the caldera. The caldera formation occurs twice. Not surprisingly, when this can be witnessed how vast expanse of this giant crater. In the next process, on the east-southeast side of the caldera floor is formed a semi-circular lake like a crescent moon known as Lake Batur … |

Junghun 1850, recorded the eruptions and lava flows of 1849 that flowed southward to Lake Batur. Some eruptions such as in 1888, 1904 and 1905. In 1926 the eruption of Mount Batur issued a lava leleran hoarding the village of Batur but did not cause casualties. The eruption of lava lava occurred again in 1963 and 1964 to the west, south and southwest. in 1968 Mount Batur erupted in the form of volcanic material incandescent after preceded by lava leleran. In 1969 reported sulfur smell on the surface of Lake Batur, the color of the water changed from green to white. This incident lasted for two days. Unlike previous eruptions in May 1971, an eruption of ash spreads in the caldera and thin ash rain in Kintamani, followed by the 1974 eruption of an eruption that drew a lava jumble to the west, around Yehmampeh. The eruption period 1994 – 1995 is dominated by strombolian eruption, then the period 1997 – 1999 eruptions are predominant gas / smoke eruption, while the eruption of 7 July 2000 in the form of strombolian eruption. |
Topology & Geology; |
the history of the formation of Mount Batur and its caldera begins with the growth of an ancient volcano cone with a height of lk. 300 m above sea level. About 29,300 years ago there was a hot cloud eruption containing dasitic composite rocks, after the eruption there was amblasan on the top of the cone forming Caldera Batur I, with Mount Threshold (+2152 m) is the rest of the ancient conical body. The second major eruption occurred about 20,150 years ago with the same composition as the first, this eruption followed by the formation of several cones and domes such as Mount Payang dang and Gunung Bunbulan. The second alteration occurred and formed Batur II Caldera with Mount Payang and Mount Bunbulan cones collapsed almost half. Ancient activity of the caldera is characterized by the growth of Mount Batur cone until now formed. This activity was initiated about 5000 years ago by the formation of the cone of Mount Batur composed basal to andesit basalan. |
