The character of the eruption of Mount Raung is explosive as it happened in 1586, 1597, 1638, 1890, 1953, and 1956, producing ash thrown into the air and ever hot clouds that glide over the body of the mountain in 1953. The main hazard of Mount Raung eruption or primary hazards are the immediate hazards of eruptions such as hot clouds and pyroclastic flushing. Eruption Period. Based on the history of its activities the shortest eruption period between 2 eruptions is 1 year and the longest 90 years. |
