Mount Merapi
Mount Merapi last erupted on 4th November 2010 , and produced ash plumes, lahars, and pyroclastic flows. The volcano also released sulfur dioxide, a 
colorless gas that can harm human health and cool Earth's climate.

Mount Merapi
Because of the active volcano , the places around Mount Merapi are fertile and suitable for agriculture which improves the Indonesia economy.
Although volcanic plumes can lead to lower global temperatures, but its only for a short while but hte volcanic ashes from Mount Merapi is considered low when compared to the 1991 Mount Pinatubo blast in the Philippines, which sent ash 78,740 feet into the atmosphere and temporarily cooled the world.


Also , particles released from Mount Merapi are bad for the eyes, skin and health of human being and will cause many people to have respirational problem.
