The volcano ejected thick greyish black ash columns, which rose about 800-1,000 meters above the peak, he added. Based on PVMBG’s visual monitoring, the eruptions were believed to be magmatic – in accordance with the occurrence of volcanic earthquakes, he informed. The volcano has shown seismic activity since January 16, 2022, in the form of volcanic and surface earthquakes, which indicate a gradual intrusion of magma from beneath the Earth's surface, he explained. Earlier, the Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) asked local residents to remain calm and stay alert for the increased activity of Mount Anak Krakatau after its alert status had been raised to level III (Watch) from level II (Alert) as of 06.00 a.m. on Thursday. https://en.antaranews.com/news/213553/mount-anak-krakatau-erupts-nine-times-in-one-day :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn :popcorn Starts @ 1:10 - Fair Use -
