November 27, 2013 – GEOLOGY – The
volcano at Mount Sinabung at Jakarta, Indonesia, erupted six times
early Monday, shooting volcanic ash 2,000 meters into the sky. Thousands
have been evacuated from the region since the Sinabung volcano began
erupting sporadically in September. 5,000 people were evacuated from the
area the day before the eruption on Monday, bringing the total number
of evacuees to 11,000. There have been no casualties so far. The
Sinabung is just one of 35 active, erupting volcanoes in the world,
according to a categorized list on Volcano Discovery. Of the 35
currently erupting volcanoes in the world, seven are in Indonesia. Most
of Indonesia is situated along the “Ring of Fire” — a horseshoe shaped
ring around the Pacific where most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions
take place. About 50 to 60 volcanoes erupt during a year. – IB Times
