The cause of Color Changes 

Among scientists and researchers to provide information that the actual chemical form of iron and sulphate salts, minerals and other activities vulkanik gas pressure and the sun is the factors that cause changes in water color 

Tiwu Ata Polo 

Concentration of Fe and showed less sulphate content is relatively low compared with the crater Tiwu Fai nua MURI koo so this is very possible Fe ² + teroksidasi be formed Fe ³ + ferry hidroksida compound (Fe (OH) 3 a reddish brown sediment with chemical reaction as follows: 
O2 
²------------------------------- Fe Fe ³ + e 
Fe ³ + 3OH -------------------------------- Fe (OH) 3 
(H2O) (sediment / colloid, reddish brown) 

Thus the water in the crater Tiwu Ata Polo occur deposition / colloid or residues of reddish brown

Tiwu Nua Muri Koo Fai

Ion affects the color of water in the crater Tiwu Nua Muri Koo Fai is the presence of Fe ion in large amounts. Hasil Uji kualitatif di laboratorium menunjukan bahwa pada suasana asam kehadiran Fe² memberikan warna hijau. View kimianya composition of the fetus showed sulphate (SO4 ² +) is very high (4100 mg / L) then the green comes from the compound ferosulfat (FeSo4) alami.Reaksi that are going are: 
Fe + + SO4 ² ²-------------------------- FeSo ³ (padatan, green) 

Explained ferosulfat FeSo4 compound, which makes the water crater Tiwu Nua Muri Koo Fai-green, in addition, there are also bubble-bubble sulfur (sulfur corn) that float dipermukaan craters and yellow. 

Tiwu Ata Mbupu 

Visual observation of the distance of ± 500 m (from a height) of water crater this old black-green (Munsell color chart: 5y, 3 / 2). But from the close (down down) was very clear water 

There Cemara mountain vegetation (Casuariana junghuniana) is dense in the mouth and lips in the crater walls, dry leaves, dry pine which float on the surface so that the crater as though the water reddish brown crater
