Telomoyo volcano eruptions:
Also called Telemojo, Telemoyo is a small volcano near the town of Dalangan in central Java. Although there are no known historic eruption, it is considered active and probably has had eruptions within the past few thousands of years.

Background:

Telomoyo was constructed over the southern flank of the eroded Soropati volcano. It is located on the NNW-SSE-trending line of volcanoes extending from Ungaran in the north to Merapi in the south, corresponding to a transverse fault of the plate boundary. The eastern flank of Soropati volcano collapsed during the past 10,000 years leaving a U-shaped depression. Telomoyo subsequently filled much of the southern side of this depression and grew to a height of 600 m above its rim.
