Indonesia lies on the pacific rim of fire which meant
there will be alot of earthquakes, tsunamies and eruptions happen alot.
Indonesia is also locates at the 4 tectonics plates. Those reason are why
Indonesia is really often to have disasters like earthquakes, tsunamies and
eruptions.
Rinjani is located at the north of Lombok, Indonesia (8.42 S, 116.47 E). Lombok is actually one of
the lesser of Sunda Islands and it’s located at the edge of Asutralian’s
continenal shelf. This volcano is 3,726 meters height. Rinjani is also still
categorize as an active volcano in Indonesia. This volcano is surround with a carter. Segara Anak lake is
a lake which is actually a carter the surroun rinjani montain.
People take benefit from the beautifulness of the
volcano. The people were adore the Segara Anak lake which is actually filling
the carter. People also could do research about rinjani volcano and it will be
a permanent knowledge for the people who mean it. It’s also can make rinjani
volcano as a tourism and national park. By that way, our country could be
famous because of the beautifulness of our nature.
Rinjani is a stratovolcano type. Stratovolcano is a
cone-shpaed volcano. However, when it comes to size and the ability to pack a
serious punch, stratovolcanoes outclass cinder cones in a big way. People
usually hiking at this mountain because it’s beautiful to see the carter around
it. But now the national park at rinjani just closed at January 5th 2012
because of landslides that’s not save for people.
People who lived around rinjani were usually aware of the
eruptions. When there’s code that the Rinjani Volcano erupt, the people around
there will build a place to live for a while. It’s quite scary because the
Rinjani volcano is near to the one of the vilage. Sometimes, the people around
there move to another spot that’s quite far from the volcano when it’s almost
erupt.
The eruption have many impact. One, is the people’s life
and the environment like flora and fauna around it. There might some plants
that grow at the volcano, but some may not. When the lava start to spread out,
the plants will be burnt and also the properties around. The lake and river
also can be dry because of the extremely hot. When the eruption stop, people
will have trouble on how they live and to fulfill everyday needs.
Eruptions:
2010, 2009, 2004, 1995, 1966, 1965,
1953, 1949-50, 1944-45, 1915, 1909, 1906, 1901, 1900, 1884, 1847.
The eruption at 1995 was so scary. It send ash for 500 meters
high. The hot lahar was going down into the river. The name of the river is
Kokok Jenggak River. 172 explosions was being heard and it makes people
extremely scared.People, who was taking water from the river was killed.
Eruption at 2009 , makes earthquakes and
a white plume was send for 1 kilometers high. The ash rose for 700 meters above
the cone. People was warned of possible lahars coming. People was evacuating as
fast as possible for their sake.
the myth of this volcano is actually
from the puppet called ‘Wayang’ So in the land of
the giants, Alengka, lived a man, Resi Gotama and his wife, Dewi Windradi, with
their 3 children – 2 sons and 1 daughter. The daughter’s name was Dewi Rinjani
a.k.a. Dewi Anjani. The mother had an affair with the sun god, Bhatara Surya,
and they were able to get away with the affair for many years.
It was a bowl. The sun god
give Dewi Windradi a bowl that can make her see the whole world. It’s like to
see the universe and future. This bowl also can fulfil any wishes. With a
promise, Dewi Windradi won’t tell anyone about the ball including her family.
One day, Dewi Windradi
give the bowl to her favorite daughter Dewi Rinjani. The god was mad and it
cause Dewi Rinjani as the impact of it. So, Dewi Rinjani came to the Segara
Anak Lake. She washed her face and play with it. After it, her body become into
a half monkey and a half human.
Now, people have to bring
foods to throw because people around there believe that there’s still the
spirit of Dewi Rinjani. They said that they often see a pretty women but
sometimes to gone in a short time. Some people sometimes bring sesajen for
according to their believe . #belive it or not J
The environment of the volcano is green. There are a lot of plants
around it especially plants that grow at volcanoes. This volcano is also near a
forest in Lombok, Lesser Sunda, Indonesia. However, it’s danger for people to
stay around this volcano now. Because it’s a location that have much
possibilities for the landslides to happen. At the top of the mountain, the
condition is very cold and sometimes people couldn’t spend too much time there
because it’s too cold for them.
