Mount Merapi Volcano In Indonesia Erupts

One of the most active volcanoes in the world, Mount Merapi in Indonesia erupted again on Wednesday.

It causes smoke and thick dust to be seen from the crater of the mountain. The sounds of the eruption could be heard 18 miles (30km) away, officials said. No casualties were reported.

The country’s geological agency reported that witnesses said the hot dust was spread over an area three kilometers (km) from the top of the mountain.

Following the incident, authorities ordered residents not to be in the area zone five km from the mountain.

In addition, warnings about possible lava flows were also issued.

The 2,968-meter volcano on the densely populated island of Java is the most active of dozens of Indonesian volcanoes and has erupted repeatedly lately. The last major eruption of Merapi, in 2010, killed 347 people.

It was the strongest eruption since 1930 that killed 1,300 people, while the 1994 eruption claimed 60 lives.

Indonesia is located in the Pacific volcanic circle that often triggers volcanic eruptions. The archipelago has nearly 130 active volcanoes.
