About 3 million years ago, the southern limit of active volcanoes in the Cascades corresponded to the Yana Volcanic Center 19 mi (30 km) to the south of Lassen Peak, but currently the southern edge of the Lassen Volcanic National Park now marks the same border, indicating that the Cascade Arc's southern end migrates at a rate of 0.4 to 1 in (1. ...

MANILA (Reuters) -The alert level has been raised at a volcano in the central Philippines after it erupted, sending a 5-kilometre (3.1-miles) high ash cloud into the sky, the country's seismology ...
Kanlaon on the central Negros Island is one of the 24 active volcanoes in the Philippines. It erupted for nearly four minutes on Monday, sending a massive column of volcanic ash high into the sky.
Over time, the volcano became dilapidated from extensive erosion and hydrothermal alteration, [6] and was eroded by creeks and glaciers. Later activity built more than thirty other cones known as the Lassen Domes. Today the most active volcano in the area is Lassen Peak. Other smaller craters younger than 50,000 years are also active.
