The mix of volcanic ash and lava that make up the mountain is like a sponge and in rainy Indonesia the water soaks onto it and is held there until it gets heated up.

 

At night, a orange glow at the surface of the crater because the lava is so hot. The magma is at the surface and as it reaches the surface it becomes known as lava.the ash and the rock storing in around the volcano when it joins with rain it is very dangerous for humans because it can push you and kill you.
