The eruption column of Mount Pinatubo on June 12, 1991, three days before the climactic eruption View to the west from Clark Air Base of the major eruption of Pinatubo on June 15, 1991. The June 15–16 climatic phase lasted more than fifteen hours, sent tephra about 35 km (22 mi) into the atmosphere, generated voluminous pyroclastic flows ...

This is a list of inactive volcanoes in the Philippines.Volcanoes with no record of eruptions are considered as extinct or inactive. Their physical form since their last activity has been altered by agents of weathering and erosion with the formation of deep and long gullies. [1]
The 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines' Luzon Volcanic Arc was the second-largest volcanic eruption of the 20th century, behind only the 1912 eruption of Novarupta in Alaska. Eruptive activity began on April 2 as a series of phreatic explosions from a fissure that opened on the north side of Mount Pinatubo .
On June 15, 1991, the island of Luzon in the Philippines was ground zero for the second-largest volcanic eruption of the 1900s when Mount Pinatubo blew its top. This historic natural event set ...
The 1991 Ultra-Plinian eruption of Mount Pinatubo was the second largest terrestrial eruption of the 20th century (surpassed only by the 1912 eruption of Novarupta), and the largest eruption in living memory. The eruption produced high-speed pyroclastic flows, giant lahars, and a cloud of volcanic ash hundreds of miles across. [2]
Lake Pinatubo (Filipino: Lawa ng Pinatubo) is the summit crater lake of Mount Pinatubo formed after its climactic eruption on June 15, 1991. The lake is located in the Zambales Mountains , in Botolan, Zambales , near the boundaries of Pampanga and Tarlac provinces in the Philippines .
Such eruptions release a tephra volume of at least 10 km 3 (2.4 cu mi) with profound long-term effects on the surrounding area and noticeable short-term effects on global climate. For smaller volcanic eruptions that have produced at least 1 km 3 (0.24 cu mi) of tephra at a time, see Category:VEI-5 eruptions .
