This includes both faulting along the plate interfaces and within the subducting slabs. For the Philippine Trench, examples of those on the plate interface are the 1988 M w 7.3 and the 2023 M7.6 events. The 1975 M w 7.6 earthquake was caused by intra-slab normal faulting, while the 2012 M7.6 was a result of thrust faulting within the descending ...
On March 11, 2020, PHIVOLCS raised the volcano's alert level from 0 to 1 due to its abnormal activities since March 9. 80 volcanic earthquakes were plotted since then. [2] On June 21, the volcano showed some signs of increased unrest. By June 22, the volcano's activity continued, with a series of tectonic earthquakes ranging from M w 3.2 to M w ...
Last activity was the formation of Sampaloc Lake around 1350 AD +/- 100 years determined by anthropology [2] Taal eruption: 1572 to 2022: Currently on eruption since January 12, 2020. Eruptions have also destroyed numerous lakeside towns, burying them with volcanic ash or submerged them by rising lake waters displaced by the erupted material.
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 ...
Few volcanic earthquakes were detected ahead of the explosion, he said. Mount Kanlaon, a 2,435m volcano, has erupted over 40 times since 1866. It last erupted in June this year, sending hundreds ...

PHIVOLCS Observatory at Mount Hibok-Hibok.. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS, Filipino:; Filipino: Surian ng Pilipinas sa Bulkanolohiya at Sismolohiya [2]) is a Philippine national institution dedicated to provide information on the activities of volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis, as well as other specialized information and services primarily for the ...
Eruptions were recorded from 1886 to 2006. On November 23, 2015 the volcano had a small, steam-driven explosion. PHIVOLCS raised the alert level to 1 (mild restiveness). Last eruption was on December 9, 2024 which PHIVOLCS classified as phreatic eruption. Kanlaon ejected about 3 kilometers high column of pyroclastic ash and incandescent materials.
