Memang keaktifan Gunung-gunung api di SUmatra (Merapi Sumatra kemudian
Krakatao dan Tangkuban Perahu) pasca gempa Aceh menunjukkan peningkatan.
Hanya bedanya, aktifitas sebelumnya tidak membesar. Sedangkan yg di jogja
ini, sebelumnya didahului oleh aktifitas Merapi. Jadi ya memang bisa saja
ada proses imbal-balik (feedback - proccess), jangan-jangan mengikuti kaidah
fractal ...

Pasca gempa yang menyebabkan Aceh dilanda tsunami, kalau tidak salah ada
satu
volcano di Sumatera Barat yang aktif. Tidak lama kemudian, kalau tidak
salah
gunung Tangkuban Perahu ditutup karena indikasi adanya peningkatan
aktifitas.
Dari peta hiposenter gempa yang pernah saya sebarkan di milis HAGI,
terlihat
adanya kumpulan gempa di selatan Sumatera Barat. Dalam kasus Tangkuban
Perahu, ada satu gempa cukup kuat yang dekat dengan Jawa Barat. Di selatan
Yogya, setahun yang lalu saya lihat cluster gempa2 kecil. Sepanjang bulan
Mei, ada banyak gempa dengan skala 4-7 di "ring of fire" bagian selatan,
termasuk dari Sumatera Utara, Jawa, sampai Laut Banda. Saya pikir, mungkin
saja ada efek pengaktifan volcano oleh gempa, tetapi feeling saya (lagi2
ini
feeling saja) mungkin hanya sesaat saja, seperti kasus volcano di Sumbar
dan
Tangkuban Perahu.

Subject: [iagi-net-l] Java quake may have volcanic effect

Kutipan dari edisi terbaru New Scientist No. 2554, 01 June 2006, hal. 4
(saya pikir kita punya banyak kasus erupsi yang diaktifkan gempa, daripada
gempa skala besar yang diaktifkan erupsi)

Java quake may have volcanic effect

The earthquake last weekend on the Indonesian island of Java, which killed
thousands and left hundreds of thousands homeless, may be about to trigger
a
second disaster. The Volcanological Survey of Indonesia says that volcanic
activity on nearby Mount Merapi has tripled since the quake.

Merapi has been giving cause for concern over the last 10 years and in
recent
weeks the Indonesian government has ordered evacuation for people living
on
the mountain slopes.

There is normally thought to be no direct relationship between earthquakes
and volcanoes, but it is possible for one to influence the other. "The
earthquake epicentre was relatively close to Merapi, only around 50
kilometres away, so it is possible that the seismic activity did something
to
the magmatic plumbing system," says Brian Baptie, a seismologist at the
British Geological Survey. "It is partially due to the kind of volcano it
is.
The lava dome is easily destabilised, with bits collapsing and forming
pyroclastic flows."

Although unusual, earthquakes have spurred a volcano into action before,
including a sequence of eruptions in Alaska triggered by seismic waves
from
the Indian Ocean quake on 26 December 2004.

Before the 27 May quake, the volcano was burping clouds of hot ash and gas
about 50 times a day. By the next day the number had risen to more than
150,
prompting fears that a major eruption could hit the region already
devastated
by the quake.

Salam,
awang
