The eruption of the Sinabung volcano

The eruption of the Sinabung volcano The Sinabung volcano, located on the island of Sumatra, woke up on August 20, 2010 after 400 years of hibernation. 12 thousand people were forced to abandon their homes.  The next volcano explosion occurred in November of 2013. A few months later, on January 4, 2014, a new eruption forced 20,000 people to flee their homes. A month later, just as the residents returned, a new explosion occurred, in which 14 people were injured. In the recent years, the volcano has not subsided. On October 24.2017, another explosion occurred, now with a descent of pyroclastic flows - a mixture of high-temperature gases, rocks and ash, which form during the eruption and destroy all life on their path . It should be noted that Sinabung is located in the "Pacific Ring of Fire" - the area of ​​active volcanoes which frame the Pacific Ocean. Lately, an increase in earthquakes and volcanic activity has been noted in this area. The eruption of the Sinabung volcano The eruption of the Sinabung volcano The eruption of the Sinabung volcano
