The name of this mountain is derived from the word cereme (Phyllanthus acidus, a small fruity plant with a sour grass), but it is often called Ciremai, a symptom of ‘hipercorect’ due to the number of place names in the Pasundan region using the ‘ci-‘ prefix for naming the place. This mountain has a double crater. The 400 m western crater is cut off by an eastern crater of 600 m. At an altitude of about 2,900 m above sea level on the southern slope there is a former point of eruption called Gowa Swallow(ind; walet)… |

Type of eruption; |
The eruptive character of Mount Ciremai is an intermediate-scale explosive eruption (manifested by a number of stream deposits and pyroclastic fall). Gradually the power of eruption weakens and tends to produce magmatic eruptions. The interval breaks the activity of Mount Ciremai shortest 3 years and the longest 112 years… |
Topology & Geology; |
The rocks underlying the complex of Mount Ciremai are Tertiary sedimentary rocks, some of which can be found in the Ciremai Mountain complex at the north-western foot. Besides it also found some intrusion andesit like in the area of Maja, Kab.Majalengka, and in the north of Mount Ciremai complex, which is in the area of Mount Kromong. The growth of volcanic activity around Gunung Ciremai was preceded by Gunung Putri activity and followed by Mt. Gegerhalang activity, then the activity of Mount Ciremai to date which is suspected to be still active and categorized as type A. volcano In Gunung Putri activities produce porfiritik lava flow, while volcanic activity of Mount Gegerhalang produce lava flow and hot clouds and pyroclastic fall. After the volcanic activity Gegerhalang followed by the activities of Mount Ciremai which produces several lava flows as well as hot cloud deposits, and the fall of pyroclastics. It also produces secondary sediment in the form of lava deposits that spread in the eastern leg of Mount Ciremai. Besides that also found some side eruptions that produce lava flows andesit composed of such as Sukageri eruption, crop eruption, shoot eruption and erupsi Dulang…? |
