Mount Sinabung

Mount Sinabung

Location: North Sumatra, Indonesia

Eruption: 

The most recent eruption of Mount Sinabung was on June 9th 2019 but on May 2016 the most recent deadliest eruption of this mountain happened. 

2019

The Indonesian volcano called "Mount Sinabung" erupted, which caused a massive column of ash and smoke of 2,000 metres into the air, which covered the local villages in debris. But there were no reported deaths or injuries from this eruption.

I think this eruption was a "Vulcanian" eruption and is a stratovolcano.


Explanation:

Volcanoes erupt when magma rises to the surface. If the magma is thick then the gas bubbles cannot escape easily which cause the pressure to build up as the magma rises. When the pressure is too much then the eruption happens.
