AMLAPURA – Great Volcano again shows its high activity amid its status at Level III (Standby).
Mount Agung erupted on Monday (30/4) at approximately 22:45 pm with the height of the ash column observed 1,500 meters above the peak (4,642 m above sea level).
Noted there is a maximum Amplitude 23 mm and 172 seconds of the earthquake and the wind leads to the west.
“With the eruption tonight, I’m still shocked, so we are still in Level III status, if the earthquake decreases, the activity may go down, but it could be because there is blockage and accumulation of energy in shallow depth,” explained Head of Mitigation Sub- East Volcano Monitoring PVMBG, Devy Kamil Syahbana.
Devy Kamil cautioned that eruptions do not always occur when the earthquakes are the most numerous.
As in September-October 2017 earthquake to a thousand per day but the eruption actually occurred at the time of the low quake in November 2017.
