Recently, Mount Agung volcano in Bali caused a huge eruption
that resulted in 100,000 people having to evacuate the area. Since last Tuesday
November 28th, intense continuous volcanic ash has led authorities
to confirm the volcano was shifting into the magmatic phase, and informed
citizens in the are the warning level is now at the maximum of 4 as of Monday
December 4th. According to the Indonesian disaster mitigation, there
is potential for an even bigger eruption. Mudflows from the eruption have been
moving through rivers rapidly and citizens are told to stay as far away as
possible. Because of the increase in seismicity, with both intensity and
frequency of earthquakes within the past few months, magma has been rising from
deep. The building of pressure, mixture of molten rock, rise of gas, and gas
from bubbles lie within Mount Agung. The lack of gas escaping increases the possibility
of an eruption.
