the mt merapi was formed after the lava cooled
yes, it is the most active volcano in Indonesia
Scientist believe the most powerful volcanic eruption occurred approximately 2 million years ago when the Yellowstone Caldera erupted. It produced an eruption 2500 times more powerful than the May 1980 Mt. St. Helens eruption.The two most destructive volcanoes in the past 200 years are located in Indonesia. Mt. Tambora, Indonesia killed 92,000 in April 1815. Krakatoa, Indonesia killed 36,417 in August 1883. Mt. Pelee, Martinique killed 29,025 in August 1902. Nevada del Ruiz, Colombia killed 23,000 in November 1985. Mt. Unzen, Japan killed 14,300 in 1792.
Mount Merapi has erupted numerous times throughout history, leading to the deaths of thousands of people. The exact number of people killed by Mount Merapi varies depending on the specific eruption being referenced. In recent years, dozens of people have been killed by eruptions and associated hazards.
The most destructive volcanic eruption in recorded history was the eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia in 1815. The eruption resulted in tens of thousands of deaths and had global climatic impacts, leading to the "Year Without a Summer" in 1816 due to the ash and gases ejected into the atmosphere causing widespread cooling.
