Taal Volcano shows signs of eruption with continuous tremors

Continuous volcanic tremors lasting over 13 hours have been observed at Taal Volcano, signaling a potential eruption.

State volcanologists detected four volcanic tremors, including one that lasted more than 13 hours, within a 24-hour monitoring period.

Other observations included plume emissions rising 460 meters and a sulfur dioxide flux of 466 tons per day.

Phivolcs also recorded continued short-term inflation of Taal Volcano Island.

Phivolcs specialist Paul Alanis stated that while tremors can last longer, they often indicate that an eruption might occur.

These tremors are generally not felt by residents in the vicinity of the volcano.
