Phivolcs detects 'upwelling of hot volcanic fluids,' 'steam-laden plumes' at Taal Volcano

In a volcano bulletin issued on Friday, April 30, Phivolcs said that of the total 37 volcanic earthquakes, one was a two-minute episode of volcanic tremor while 26 were low-frequency volcanic earthquakes and low-level background tremor that has persisted since 9:05 a.m. on April 8, 2021.

Phivolcs added that ground deformation parameters continued to indicate a “very slow and steady inflation and expansion of the Taal region since after the January 2020 eruption.” Phivolcs maintained the alert level over Taal Volcano at Alert Level 2 due to continuous “increased unrest.”“Sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall, and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas can occur and threaten areas within and around TVI ,” Phivolcs pointed out.
