Volcanoes
The Beauty and Danger
of Erupting Nature
The formation of a volcano is the result of a series of geological processes that occur over thousands or even millions of years. In general, volcanoes form from magma, which is a mixture of molten rocks, gases and other materials that are generated inside the Earth.
When magma accumulates in underground chambers, an increase in pressure and temperature can occur, which can lead to volcanic eruptions. Lava and ash released during eruptions can build up and solidify around the vent of the volcano, creating a volcanic mountain.
The formation of a volcano is also associated with the movement of tectonic plates, which are the gigantic rock plates that make up the Earth's crust. When two plates collide or move away from each other, an opening in the Earth's crust can occur, which is called an oceanic ridge.
In this process, magma can reach the surface through fissures and create new volcanic eruptions. Volcanic activity can also occur in areas where there are geological faults or hot spots, which are regions with high seismic and volcanic activity.
Currently, there are many active volcanoes around the world, some more famous and well known than others. One example is Mount Etna, located in Sicily, Italy. At over 3,300 meters high, it is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and has erupted over 200 times since its first recorded eruption in 1500 BC.
Another famous volcano is Mount Fuji in Japan. This volcano is 3,776 meters high and is considered one of the country's national symbols. Despite being dormant for over 300 years, scientists are closely monitoring seismic activity around Mount Fuji and are warning of the possibility of a new eruption in the future.
Other active volcanoes around the world include Mount Vesuvius in Italy, which is known for its 79 AD eruption that destroyed the city of Pompeii; the Mauna Loa volcano in Hawaii, which is one of the most active volcanoes in the world and is over 4,100 meters high; and Mount St. Helens, USA, which erupted in 1980, killing 57 people and destroying thousands of hectares of forest.
In Indonesia, there are also a lot of active volcanoes such as Mount Merapi, Mount Agung, Mount Sinabung and Mount Bromo. These volcanoes often erupt, causing harm to the local population and disrupting tourist activities.
In addition to terrestrial volcanoes, there are underwater volcanoes, which can be even more difficult to detect and monitor. These volcanoes are usually found along submarine ridges and subduction zones where tectonic plates meet.
Active volcanoes are a powerful and unpredictable force of nature that can have devastating consequences for the areas around them. It is important that scientists continue to monitor and study volcanic activity around the world to ensure population safety and predict possible eruptions in the future.

Mount Etna is one of the most famous volcanoes in the world, located on the Italian island of Sicily. With a height of 3,329 meters, it is the highest and most active volcano in Europe. Etna is a shield volcano, which means that it was formed by multiple volcanic eruptions over thousands of years that resulted in the formation of a large mountain with a gentle slope.
Mount Etna has a rich and complex volcanic history, with documented eruptions as far back as 1500 BC Its volcanic activity is fueled by the subduction of the African plate beneath the Eurasian plate. Etna's eruptions can be extremely violent, with lava and ash spewing to great heights.
Although Mount Etna is an active volcano, it is also one of the most popular tourist attractions in Sicily. There are several excursions and hikes that allow visitors to climb up to the main crater. However, safety is always a concern, and local authorities constantly monitor volcano activity to ensure everyone's safety.
Mount Etna's presence also has significant impacts on the surrounding region. The soil fertility around the volcano is one of the highest in the world, which makes agriculture an important activity in the area. However, eruptions can also be dangerous, especially for communities close to the volcano.
Furthermore, Etna plays a big role in Sicily's culture and history. The mountain is a source of inspiration for artists, writers and musicians, and local communities have a unique relationship with the volcano. In 2013, Mount Etna was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List, recognizing its natural and cultural importance.
