~~Update the image/photo of current eruption, not the one in 2017.~~ Done
The chronology, especially when (exact time) 11 peoples/hikers found death are still missing. Update when available.

How strong is the eruption? edit

Latest comment: 5 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

In the 3nd of December the current eruption has released around 3,000 metres (9,800 ft) into the air during its first day. I had created this for any volcanologist to put down what type of eruption on the VEI scale is it? Feel free to discuses about the volcano and the strength of the eruptions.CrusaderToonamiUK (talk) 18:26, 5 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

I found this about VEI scale: Swarms of small earthquakes on Marapi Volcano, West Sumatra, Indonesia: are these precursors to explosion event?. There, it stated Marapi on VEI 2 (Strombolian to small Vulcanian). EdhyRa (talk) 01:59, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Title edit

I would suggest moving the article title to 2023 eruptions of Mount Marapi since Mount Marapi was also erupting from January 7 to March 17, 2023. Volcanoguy 03:17, 6 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Agree: eruption only without "s" could be misleading. EdhyRa (talk) 02:02, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

Agree - and suggest speedy implementation. Jusdafax (talk) 21:34, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
