Sumatra and surrounding residents must be alert, because it found a giant volcano under the sea. The location is very close to the island of Sumatra and surrounding areas. And if the volcano is active and erupts, then drop it all the residents of the island of Sumatra and the surrounding areas. Not only the residents of Sumatra, it could be the entire people of Indonesia and Asia and even, feel musibahnya.

Giant volcano 50 kilometers in diameter with a height of 4,600 meters was found in the waters west of Sumatra. This discovery raises concerns, because if true seamount was active, residents worried about his safety is threatened.

In addition to the size of the submarine volcano was very large, this mountain also has an active potential. Some researchers Indonesia has been sent to the mountain, and from the results of his research, the mountain was still considered safe. Khabar bad, the mountain can be activated with bebeapa factor.

According to the Chairman of the Indonesian Geologists Association (IAGI) branch of West Sumatra, giant mountain ancient relics possibility ddiperkirakan inactive.

"From satellite photos whereabouts unknown but so far has never detected any volcanic activity of this invention position," he said when contacted headline, Friday, May 29, 2009. The question is why now the giant mountain is known, because actually been around since Antiquity, but it seemed so big in size.

Although it is theoretically less likely active, Ade assess the size of the discovery of the giant mountain at a depth of 5.9 km to 330 km Southwestern Bengkulu Sumatra need ditidaklanjuti to ensure its activities. It can be active, because according to past experience, there is a mountain that is considered dead turned out to be active and erupt with a vengeance.

According to Ade, in theory mountain in the waters west of Sumatra plate collision tend to be active, depending if the mountain is located in the east zone of collision. "If he is active, this is odd and questionable," said Ade.

No matter how, to do research on the giant mountain is not easy because in addition to in depth away from the sea surface also require sophisticated equipment for detection gununbg the giant. Now research still continue until now. Hopefully it is not active.
