The Philippines' Taal volcano ejects a column of steam
The Philippine Institute of Seismology and Volcanology said that on April 12, the Taal volcano south of the country's capital Manila erupted a 2,400m high column of steam.
The Philippine Institute of Seismology and Volcanology said that on April 12, the Taal volcano south of the country's capital Manila erupted a 2,400 m high steam column, but experts say it is very unlikely that this mountain magma will erupt.

Based on seismic, image and sound data, the above research institute said that Taal volcano erupted steam between 5:11 a.m. and 5:24 a.m. local time (4:11 a.m. to 4:24 a.m. Vietnam time). ). This phenomenon may occur due to the continuous dispersion of hot gases at the crater. However, the level of tremors and ground deformation recorded at Taal volcano shows that magma injection is not yet possible.
The Philippine Institute of Seismology and Volcanology still applies a level 1 warning for Taal volcano. This means that the mountain is still in an abnormal condition and that steaming, tremors, light ash spraying, gas accumulation and spraying may occur, posing a hazard to surrounding areas. around. The agency advised pilots to avoid flying near Taal volcano.
The Philippines is located in the Pacific Ring of Fire , easily affected by earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Taal Volcano, 66 km south of Manila, is one of the most active volcanoes in the country. This mountain last erupted in January 2020, displacing nearly 380,000 villagers and destroying many farms, houses as well as the road system.
