Editing Ternate (section)

==Geography==
Ternate lies in a very active seismic region where volcanic activity and earthquakes are common. Ternate belongs to a group of islands that make up part of the [[Ring of Fire]].<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-30066518|title = Indonesia quake triggers brief tsunami alert|date = 15 November 2014|website = BBC News Asia}}</ref> Ternate is dominated by the [[volcano|volcanic]] Mount [[Gamalama]] (1,715 m). An 1840 eruption destroyed most houses, and additional ones occurred in 1980, 1983, 1994 and 2011.<ref name="travel" /> During the 2011 eruption, Indonesia closed a domestic airport near the volcano for several days following ash emissions that reached {{convert|2,000|m|ft|abbr=off}} into the atmosphere.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://english.kompas.com/read/2011/12/05/11051576/Indonesia.Closes.Airport.after.Volcano.Erupts |title=Indonesia Closes Airport after Volcano Erupts |date=December 5, 2011}}</ref>
