Merapi is caused by the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, leading to the accumulation of magma in a chamber below the volcano. As pressure builds up, the magma eventually erupts through the volcano's vent, resulting in an explosive eruption. Other factors like the composition of the magma and the topography of the volcano can also influence the eruption.
Mount Merapi was formed by two converging plates. Subduction causes slabs of oceanic crust to sink through a deep-ocean trench into the mantle. The crust melts and forms magma, which then rises back toward the surface. It is located along the Sunda, or Java trench. When the magma from the melted crust erupts as lava, volcanoes are formed. Mount Merapi is located along an island arc.
Mount Merapi is near a convergent plate boundary where the Indo-Australian Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian Plate.

Silica.

Explosive and oozy.
It is an active volcanic mountain
The three types of magma, named for the rock they form are basaltic, rhyolitic and andesitic. Rhyolitic magma is rich in silica and water vapor.
Mount Merapi is a convergent boundary type, specifically a subduction zone where the Indo-Australian Plate is subducting beneath the Eurasian Plate. This subduction has led to the explosive volcanic activity and frequent eruptions characteristic of Mount Merapi.
That depends on the type of magma (there are more than one type), they are formed by partial/eutectic melting of either continental crustal rocks or mantle material and will therefore contain different minerals.
It is above a subduction zone
Magma often does contain sulfur compounds that are poisonous.

Yes. Magma often contains felsdpars, which contain aluminum.

Yes, magma often contains various minerals such as quartz, feldspar, olivine, and pyroxene. These minerals are formed from the cooling and solidification of magma as it rises to the Earth's surface.
