Abstract
Research has been carried out to analyse the morphology and composition
of volcanic ash oxide compounds resulting from the eruption of Mount Merapi
Yogyakarta on March 11 2023. Sampling was carried out around the Mount Merapi
National Park Area Yogyakarta. The method used is Scanning Electron
Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (SEM-EDX). The results show
that the morphology of Mount Merapi's volcanic ash is in the form of glass
fragments that have sharp, pointed, sharp and irregular angles. Apart from
that, the topography of volcanic ash is flat, rough and textured. The mineral
composition of Mount Merapi volcanic ash is dominated by Si, A, Ca, and O. This
is followed by Fe and Na. The discovery of Fe indicates that the sample is
thought to contain the magnetic mineral Fe3O4, which is ferrimagnetic.
