Everything about Volcanoes Of Java totally explained

Java is almost entirely of volcanic origin, and contains numerous volcanoes, 20 of which have been active in recent historical times. As is the case for many other Indonesian islands, volcanoes have played a vital role in the geological and human history of Java. Indeed, land is created on Java as a result of lava flows, ash deposits, and mud flows (lahars). Volcanoes are a major contributor to the immense fertility of Java, as natural erosion transports volcanic material as alluvium to the island's plains, forming thick layers of fertile sediment. The benefit isn't just in the immediate vicinity of the volcano, with fine ash emitted from eruptions being dispersed over wide areas.
   Climbing volcanoes (and other mountains) is increasingly popular.
