Philippines frightened by Taal volcano
The Philippines frightened by Taal volcano
A dangerous volcano eruption is feared in the Philippines after a flow of lava
began to spew out of the Taal volcano-located some 70 km south of the capital
Manila.
It seems to be triggering after the emission of a huge plume
of ash and more than 8000 people are being evacuated from the area. Taal, on
the same note, is considered as the second most active volcano of the Philippines.
It is situated on an island in the middle of a lake, also one of the world
smallest volcanoes and has recorded at least 34 eruptions in the past 450 years.
On Sunday, the volcano was emitting some giant plumes of ash
and some rumbling sounds and tremors were reported. More than 70 earthquakes
have occurred, almost 32 of these earthquakes ranking 2 and higher on the earthquake intensity scale.
More than 450,000 people are estimated to live near the
danger zone of the Taal volcano. Ash fell on several areas nearby and civilians are
said to use a mask. In the distance of Taal ashes were continuing to billow and
smoke miles into the sky. Ash from the Taal volcano has affected thousands of
residents in nearby areas.
President Rodrigo Duterte’s office has ordered the closure
of all schools in capital and suspension of government work in Manila,
concerning the safety of people nearby.
