PHIVOLCS: Slow lava effusion from Mayon crater still observed
(Eagle News)–Mayon Volcano’s intensified activity continued on Sunday, Aug. 6, as a slow effusion of lava from the crater continued to feed the already-existing lava flows on the Bonga, Mi-isi, and Basud gullies. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the lava flows “have maintained their respective advances to approximately 3.4 kilometers, 2.8 kilometers, and 600 meters from the crater.” PHIVOLCS said rockfall and pyroclastic density currents (PDCs) generated by collapses of the lava […]
