Editing Mount Merapi (section)

===2018 eruption===

A [[phreatic eruption]] began on the morning of 11 May, prompting the evacuation of areas within a {{cvt|5|km|adj=mid}} radius of the volcano. [[Adisutjipto International Airport]] in Yogyakarta was closed due to the eruption's ash plume. This eruption initiated a new phase of dome growth. It led to new evacuations at Merapi in November 2020. The danger of pyroclastic flows was increasing and expanding.<ref>{{cite news|date=11 May 2018|title=Indonesia evacuates residents, shuts airport after Java volcano erupts|url=https://www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-volcano/indonesia-evacuates-residents-shuts-airport-after-java-volcano-erupts-idUSKBN1IC0CI|work=Reuters|access-date=11 May 2018|archive-date=11 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511064309/https://www.reuters.com/article/us-indonesia-volcano/indonesia-evacuates-residents-shuts-airport-after-java-volcano-erupts-idUSKBN1IC0CI|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author1=Moses Ompusunggu|author2=Ganug Nugroho Adi|date=11 May 2018|title=Mount Merapi erupts, residents told to evacuate|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2018/05/11/mountain-merapi-erupts-residents-told-to-evacuate.html|work=The Jakarta Post|access-date=11 May 2018}}{{Dead link|date=May 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=11 May 2018|title=Gunung Merapi erupts again|url=https://regional.kompas.com/read/2018/05/11/08351941/gunung-merapi-kembali-meletus|publisher=Kompas|access-date=11 May 2018|archive-date=11 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180511220155/https://regional.kompas.com/read/2018/05/11/08351941/gunung-merapi-kembali-meletus|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=23 November 2020|title=Merapi: Dome growth continues|url=http://www.volcanoes.de/2020/11/23/merapi-dome-growth-continues/|publisher=Marc Szeglat|access-date=23 November 2020|archive-date=10 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220510035142/http://www.volcanoes.de/2020/11/23/merapi-dome-growth-continues/|url-status=live}}</ref>
