Geography and Climate
[edit]Geography
[edit]Klaten borders Boyolali Regency in the North, Sukoharjo Regency and Wonogiri Regency in the East, and the Special Region of Yogyakarta to the South and West. Candi Prambanan, one of the biggest Hindu structures in Indonesia, is in the regency.
The 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake damaged the area, located near the active Mount Merapi volcano in central Java. The 2010 eruptions of Mount Merapi had a great impact on Klaten and its surrounding areas. A few of the victims who were affected by the eruption came from the regency of Klaten. The volcanic eruptions were so loud they caused panic and a rush for residents to seek refuge.
