Type of eruption; |
Marapi volcano eruption character of explosive or effusive eruption with average 4 year rest period. The activity does not always occur in the same crater, but moves to form a straight line with the east-southwest direction between the Tuo Crater to the Bungsu Crater. From the beginning of 1987 until now the eruption was explosive and the source of the eruption was centered on the Verbeek Crater. The eruption was accompanied by roar, ash, sand, lapili and sometimes followed by bursts of incandescent material and volcanic bombs (Rashid, 1990). |
Topology & Geology; |
Based on the geological map of Mount Marapi, eruption products include lava flows, pyroclastic flows (hot clouds) as a result of lava flows, as well as more dominant pyroclastic falling rocks. The stratigraphy of Mount Marapi consists of six sources of eruption, namely four central eruptions and two side eruptions. The central eruption consists of: Bancah Crater which produces pyroclastic fall, lava and lava vapor; Tuo crater that produces pyroclastic falling deposits, pyroclastic flows and lava; Bungo gardens that produce pyroclastic falling deposits, pyroclastic flows and lava; Bongsu crater that produces pyroclastic fall and lava flow. The side eruptions are the Sikumpar Cone and the Wood Maar Horn which produces Phreatic precipitate. The structure found in Mount Marapi is in the form of a large fault of Sumatra (Semangko Fault), Normal Fault, Oblique Fault and escarpments fault that forms steep hills and steep.
