(Eagle News)–Alert level 3 remains hoisted over Taal as it continues to spew steam-laden plumes and its seismic activity. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said activity in the main crater in the past 24 hours has been characterized by weak emission of steam-laden plumes 50 to 500 meters tall. Sulfur dioxide emission was measured at an average of 231 tons per day on February 3. PHIVOLCS said the Taal Volcano Network recorded 223 […]
Earthquakes also monitored (Eagle News)–Alert level 3 remains hoisted over Taal as it continues to spew steam-laden plumes and seismic activity. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said the moderate to voluminous emission of dirty-white to white steam-laden plumes rising 800 meters high was monitored in the last 24 hours. Sulfur dioxide emission was measured at an average of 97 tons per day on February 1. Taal Volcano’s seismic monitoring network, on the other […]
Earthquakes also recorded (Eagle News)–An alert level 3 remains hoisted over Taal volcano as it continued to spew steam-laden plumes 50 to 100 meters tall. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said Taal continued its seismic activity as well, with the Taal Volcano Network recording 153 volcanic earthquakes including two low-frequency events. “These earthquakes signify magmatic activity beneath the Taal edifice that could lead to eruptive activity at the main crater,” PHIVOLCS said. Sulfur […]
