EARTHQUAKES AND VALCANOES, INDONESIA’S TWIN NIGHTMARES

The Indonesian region devastated by a violent earthquake is also facing the threat of an imminent eruption by the mount Merapi Volcano, two incidents that are closely linkedaccording to experts. Yogykarata, Indonesia’s ancient capital and now a densely populated university city,lies almost exactly halfway between the rumbling volcano and the epicenter of the violent earthquake. While the “Mountain of Fire”,whose belching of searing clouds of giant shifting plates of the earth’s crust “It wasn’t Merapi that set off earthquake today” said a UNESCO geologist “But the increase in tectonic activity which is causing the Merapi eruption also started the earthquake.
