Mount Seemeru is an active volcano in East Java, Indonesia. The volcano is situated in the subduction zone where the Indo-Australian crust subducts beneath the Eurasian plate.

About stratovolcano:
The stratovolcano is often referred to as a conical volcano. It is made up of several layers of hardened lava. Stratovolcano lava is very viscous.
It cools and hardens until it extends far. The stratovolcano also has frequent effusive eruptions. Stratovolcano lava is not a major danger to humans since it is extremely viscous.
