Indonesia is a rich country with diverse natural resources, it would not be separated from geographical location consisting of a cluster of islands, sea, and land with consist stunning cluster of volcanoes. However, behind the natural resources owned, Indonesia also is home to the birth and death of most of the volcanoes on Earth. The island state has 400 volcanoes, and 127 which is a volcano that erupts regularly. Some active volcano eruptions were recorded having a most violent in the history of this earth that ever happened on this earth. This is caused because Indonesia is on The Pacific ring of fire.
Pacific ring of fire is a cluster of volcanoes in the Pacific region which passes through the territory of Indonesia, thus making the region prone to volcanic eruptions and earthquakes. Recorded, about 90 percent of the genesis of earthquakes worldwide occurs in the Pacific ring of fire. And about 81 percent of the earthquake on the Pacific ring of fire is the largest earthquake in the world. Recorded in Indonesia occurred 3 eruption that caused the most intense change of nature on Earth, the explosion was the third eruption of Krakatau, Tambora eruption, and eruption of Toba.
The Toba Eruption (74,000 BC) resulted in the onset of the ice age of 1,000 years. About 10,000 people become victims, volcanic ash as high as 6 meters of burying India and Pakistan. After the catastrophic eruption of Toba, some groups immigrated to Australia passing through East Timor and Papua New Guinea through Borneo (Stephen Oppenheimer, 2003). The eruption of’ Tambora (april, 1815 M) island of Sumbawa NTB does not only bring devastation of civilization in the surroundings, the emption of Tambora also cause the year without a summer in Europe. When Tambora erupted, the radius approximately 600km from Mount Tambora darkness all day almost a week away, the eruption was heard to reply over 2000km of distance and the Earth’s temperature has dropped to a few degrees resulting in earth being cold due to the volcanic dust obstructed sunlight for several months. An eruption of Tambora is the most ruthless, even the strongest ever recorded in the history of modern humans.
The eruption of Krakatoa (August 27, 1883 AD), takes up 36,000 victims soul, so loud so that tumultuous World. The lava burst and volcanism ashes reached a 8O km height, while brush wooding around the Earth for several years. Seen from North America and Europe when it appears in blue light from the sun and moon looked orange.
With the abundance of volcanoes, making the land fertile, and Indonesia also rich in precious minerals, but behind that, Indonesia keep potential natural disasters which may occur anytime, either from eruption of the volcano or an earthquake. A related problem is the earthquake attacks occur suddenly. Its occurrence is almost impossible to be predicted by human calculation. We just have to wait and wait, until we forgot and suddenly struck back by large shocks.
