Figure 3. The Deles tilt station is located on the South-Est flank of Merapi (3 km from summit), on a compact and massive rock identified as a 5,000 years old pyroxene andesitic lava flow. The thickness reaches 200 m at some places and a few meters of young pyroclastic deposits cap it, constituting a thermal isolator, as compared with the massive rock below.
