Taal Volcano in the Philippines may erupt soon

newsinfo.inquirer.net

Phivolcs has issued a warning that Taal Volcano in the Philippines could erupt imminently due to increased seismic activity. This poses a potential threat to surrounding areas. The warning follows a rise in real-time seismic energy measurements (RSAM) and low sulfur dioxide emissions since last month. These indicators suggest a possible blockage of gas pathways within the volcano, leading to pressure buildup. Taal Volcano remains under Alert Level 1, but a phreatic eruption occurred on June 17, 2025. Phreatic eruptions are steam-driven explosions caused by heated water.
