Mount Agung BALI INDONESIA

Mount Agung or Gunung Agung may be a active volcano in bali. This stratovolcano is that the highest purpose on the island. It dominates the encircling space influencing the climate. The clouds return from the west and Agung takes their water in order that the west is lush and inexperienced and therefore the east dry and barren.



Background:
Mount Agung or Gunung Agung may be a mountain in bali. This stratovolcano is that the highest purpose on the island. It dominates the encircling space influencing the climate. The clouds return from the west and Agung takes their water in order that the west is lush and inexperienced and therefore the east dry and barren. 


Gunung Agung last erupted in 1963-64 and continues to be active, with an outsized and extremely deep craterthat often belches smoke and ash. From a distance, the mountain seems to be utterly round shape, despite the existence of the massive crater
From the height of the mountain, it's potential to ascertain the height of Mount Rinjani on the island of Lombok,though each mountains square measure ofttimes coated in cloud. 

The 1963 eruption of Agung volcano 
After quite a hundred years of slumber, Mt. Agung came back to life on February eighteen, 1963. Loud noises and a cloud rising from the crater were noticed , then the ejection of bombs and blocks. 
On February twenty four, 1963, extremely viscous volcanic rock flows began to travel down the northern flank of the volcano, reaching a length of seven klick in concerning eighteen to twenty days Associate in Nursingd an elevation of 510 m higher than water level. The flows were concerning zero.5-0.8 klick wide and 30-40 m thick. Rough estimates indicate a complete volume of those flows of concerning fifty million cubiform meters. 

After that section, the eruption became a lot of and a lot of explosive, and on day, 1963, the attack sub-Plinian eruption transpire, generating a eruptino column of 8-10 klick height that folded to make devastating pyroclastic flows. These flows reached distances of up to fifteen klick from the crater following vallezs to the south and east, at speeds of concerning sixty km/hour. several villages were destroyed and quite a thousand folks lost their lives.significant tephra fall occurred in areas west of the volcano, wherever up to 50-70 cm of ash were deposited. 
In May, the south peak of the crater wall folded, lowering its height for concerning two hundred meters. rock bottom crater wall at this time is that the higher finish of Langon watercourse (2600 m).
