Taal Volcano (IPA:; Tagalog: Bulkang Taal) is a large caldera filled by Taal Lake in the Philippines. [1] Located in the province of Batangas about 50 kilometers (31 mi) south of Manila, the volcano is the second most active volcano in the country with 38 recorded historical eruptions, all of which were concentrated on Volcano Island, near the middle of Taal Lake.

Taal Lake (Tagalog: Lawa ng Taal, IPA:), formerly known as Bombón Lake, [2] [3] is a fresh water caldera lake in the province of Batangas, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. The lake fills Taal Volcano , a large volcanic caldera formed by very large eruptions between 500,000 and 100,000 years ago.
Based on studies on Taal, it is believed that an ancient Taal Cone was formed by buildup of large volume dacitic pyroclastic materials more than 140,000 years ago. Several major catastrophic eruptions probably between 27,000 and 5,000 years ago destroyed this greater Taal Cone and ultimately formed the 25-by-30-kilometre (16 mi × 19 mi) wide depression now known as Taal Caldera.
The Philippines' Taal Volcano near the capital region has erupted, spewing a plume of steam that was more than 2 km (1.24 miles) high, the seismology agency said on Wednesday. Taal, located about ...
The Macolod Corridor is an important geological feature for several reasons. First, it is a zone of active volcanism, which poses a significant hazard to the surrounding population. Second, the corridor is located at the junction of several tectonic elements, which makes it an ideal place to study the tectonic processes that affect the Philippines.
A day after rumbling to life, the Taal Volcano in the central Philippines began to spew lava on Monday -- and officials warn that eruptions could last months or even years. The volcano is located ...
Taal Volcano Main Crater Lake (IPA:; or simply Main Crater Lake [3]), historically known as Yellow Lake, [4] is a lake inside the main crater of Taal Volcano. The origin of the lake is uncertain but is thought to have formed by rainwater. The lake briefly disappeared after the 2020 eruption of Taal Volcano. [5] [6]
