Mount Sinabung

Mount Sinabung is an active volcano located in North Sumatra, Indonesia. It has been erupting periodically since 2010, producing ash plumes, lava flows, and pyroclastic flows that pose risks to nearby communities and the environment. The volcano's eruptions are driven by the movement of magma beneath the Earth's surface, which causes the surface to erupt periodically. Despite its activity, Sinabung is closely monitored by volcanologists to provide early warnings and ensure safety. The region's residents have adapted to the volcanic activity, living with the awareness of potential eruptions while continuing their daily lives.
