The Papandayan’s activity is classified into early, middle and late stage which are subdivided into distinct units. Products of these three stages are mainly lava flows of basaltic andesite, pyroxene andesite and pyroxene dacite, respectively.
The products are divided into nine units. All volcanic products of the early stage were erupted and distributed to the south. The lava flows are composed of olivine-orthopyroxene- clinopyroxene basaltic andesite and others are orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene basaltic andesite.
The middle stage was preceded by the formation of two debris avalanches. The products were mostly erupted to the south but some to the north. The lava flows are composed of orthopyroxene-clinopyroxene andesite.
The products are divided into seven units. This stage is characterized by pyroclastic flow and caldera formation. The caldera at Papandayan which extends 3 x 5 km in diameter was formed during or after the eruptions of 7 pyroclastic flow deposits which are distributed around the edge of the caldera. After caldera formation, five dacitic lavas were erupted and followed by a debris avalanche. [6]
