(Eagle News)–Four volcanic earthquakes were monitored at Kanlaon in 24 hours. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said also monitored at the volcano, which remains on alert level 1, were steam and sulfur dioxide emissions. PHIVOLCS said the emission of white steam-laden plumes that rose 200 meters was moderate. Sulfur dioxide emission was at an average of 656 tons on October 13. A slight inflation of the lower and mid slopes since June 2020, […]
(Eagle News)–Nine volcanic earthquakes were monitored at Kanlaon in 24 hours. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said also monitored at the volcano, which remains on alert level 1, was sulfur dioxide emission, which was measured at an average of 656 tons on October 13. A slight inflation of the lower and mid slopes since June 2020, and an inflation on the lower to mid slopes that began on June 21 “may indicate hydrothermal […]
(Eagle News)–Twenty-six volcanic earthquakes were monitored at Taal within 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said. According to PHIVOLCS, weak to moderate steaming was also observed from the vents on the main crater of the volcano, which remains on alert level 1. The steam, which rose 50 meters high before drifting northeast, southeast, and southwest, was also observed in fissure vents along the Daang Kastila trail. PHIVOLCS reminded the public that “sudden […]
(Eagle News) — Twenty volcanic earthquakes were monitored at Taal within 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Sunday, Aug. 23. According to PHIVOLCS, weak steaming rising five meters was also observed from the vents on the main crater of the volcano, which remains on alert level 1. PHIVOLCS reminded the public, however, that “sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall, and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas” […]
(Eagle News) — Bulusan is now on alert level 1, which means it is in an “abnormal condition.” The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology on Monday, July 6, said the volcano’s alert level was raised from 0 after 53 volcanic earthquakes were recorded since July 3, and a “short-term inflation of the edifice” was recorded since late February. PHIVOLCS said the quakes included 43 low-frequency events that are “associated with weak and shallow hydrothermal […]
(Eagle News)–Several earthquakes and moderate plume emission were monitored at Kanlaon, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said in Monday, June 29. PHIVOLCS said of the earthquakes at the volcano, which remains on alert level 1, 16 were volcano-tectonic earthquakes on the western flanks and four volcanic earthquakes in the summit area. They were observed within 24 hours. The moderate emission was of white steam-laden plumes that rose 300 meters. Sulfur dioxide emission was […]
(Eagle News) — Three earthquakes were recorded at Taal in a 24-hour period, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Wednesday, June 3. PHIVOLCS said the earthquakes at the volcano, which is still on alert level 1, were “associated mainly with rock-fracturing processes beneath and around the edifice.” Weak steaming was also observed from fissure vents along the Daang Kastila trail. According to PHIVOLCS, with the alert level in place, the public should […]
(Eagle News)–Six volcanic earthquakes were recorded at Taal in 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Tuesday, May 12. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the earthquakes were “associated mainly with rock-fracturing processes beneath and around the edifice.” PHIVOLCS reminded the public that at alert level 1, “sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas can occur and threaten areas […]
(Eagle News) — Eleven volcanic earthquakes were monitored at Taal in a 24-hour period, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Friday, May 8. PHIVOLCS said the earthquakes were “associated mainly with rock-fracturing processes beneath and around the edifice.” PHIVOLCS said an alert level 1 is maintained over the volcano, which means sudden steam-driven explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas can occur and threaten areas within […]
(Eagle News)–Eight volcanic earthquakes were recorded at Taal volcano in a span of 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said on Sunday, May 3. PHIVOLCS said the earthquakes registered by the Taal Volcano Network were mainly associated with “rock-fracturing processes beneath and around the edifice.” Weak steaming was also observed from vents on the main crater and from fissure vents along the Daang Kastila trail. PHIVOLCS said it is still monitoring the […]
(Eagle News)–The series of earthquakes that hit Batangas on Wednesday, April 22, are volcano-tectonic in origin. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said this means the 23 earthquakes that struck Mabini and adjacent areas of Balayan Bay since 10:30 a.m. were “associated with failure or breakage of rock material along faults and fractures beneath active volcanos.” PHIVOLCS said although the root causes of tectonic earthquakes, which the Batangas quakes were initially described due to […]
