Meanwhile, Head of the Geological Agency of the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources Eko Budi Lelono said the eruption of Mount Semeru was related to high rainfall around the mountain peak, causing the lava lip to collapse which triggered an eruption.

"It seems that there is indeed a connection with high rainfall, causing the lava lip to collapse, triggering an eruption, or hot clouds falling," said Eko, Saturday, December 4.

Eko explained that the eruption of Mount Semeru on Saturday afternoon was most likely from external factors, namely high rainfall. This is because the record of relatively low seismicity and the activity of magma and material supply throughout November and from December 1 to 3, 2021 did not experience significant changes.
