EXPLAINER: What is phreatomagmatic eruption?

MANILA—Taal Volcano on Thursday spewed a kilometer-high phreatomagmatic plume that prompted the state volcanology agency to raise the status over the volcano to Alert Level 3.

The first phreatomagmatic eruption at Taal Volcano occurred at 3:16 p.m., which lasted for 5 minutes and generated a kilometer-high dark plume. In 1965, Taal's volcanic explosivity index, a numeric scale that measures the relative explosivity of historic eruption, was VEI 4. It erupted in the subsequent years until 1970 to VEI 1.
