No trace of sulfur dioxide emissions in Taal, but volcanic quakes persist — PHIVOLCS
Taal Volcano did not emit traceable amounts of sulfur dioxide for the second consecutive day, as reported by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs).
Sulfur dioxide emission, which indicates the upward movement of magma, was below instrumental detection.
However, volcanic earthquakes persist, with the Philippine Seismic Network plotting seven such events between Thursday and Friday.
The Philippine Seismic Network has recorded a total of 763 volcanic earthquakes since Taal Volcano awakened on January 12.
The Taal Volcano Network, meanwhile, recorded 116 volcanic earthquakes in the past 24 hours, including two low-frequency events.
