Phivolcs observes 11 more harmonic tremors at Taal Volcano
The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported 132 volcanic earthquakes at Taal Volcano in the past 24 hours, including 11 harmonic tremors.
This follows a previous 24-hour period where 156 volcanic earthquakes were recorded, 18 of which were harmonic tremors.
Harmonic tremors, often linked to magma movement, have a weekly total of 32 since January 30.
Low-frequency events, caused by magma and gas movement towards the surface, were also detected.
Phivolcs stated that these seismic activities indicate magmatic activity beneath Taal Volcano that could lead to an eruption at the main crater.
