Razon)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0More volcanic earthquakes and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions have been observed in Taal Volcano for the past 24 hours, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) reported on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Taal Volcano Network recorded 223 volcanic earthquakes, including eight low-frequency events and one harmonic tremor that lasted for about three minutes. This is higher compared to 124 volcanic quakes recorded the previous day.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These earthquakes signify magmatic activity beneath the Taal edifice that could lead to eruptive activity at the main crater,&#8221; Phivolcs said in its bulletin.<\/p>\n<p>Taal Volcano remains under Alert Level 3, which means sudden steam-driven and weak phreatomagmatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, ashfall, and lethal volcanic gas expulsions may still occur in areas within Taal Volcano Island and nearby lake shores.<\/p>\n<p>SO2 emission measured higher on February 3, with an average of 231 tons\/day. An average of 97 tons\/day was recorded on February 1, according to Phivolcs.<\/p>\n<p>Steam laden-plumes emission for the past 24 hours went a little shorter at 50 to 500 meters in height, compared to the 800-meter tall steam-laden plumes the previous day.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Phivolcs reiterated that entry into Taal Volcano Island, as well as into areas over Taal Lake and communities west of the island within a 7-km. radius from the main crater must be strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Local government units are advised to assess areas outside the 7-km. radius for damages and road accessibilities and to strengthen preparedness, contingency and communication measures in case of renewed unrest,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MANILA\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0More volcanic earthquakes and sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions have been observed in Taal Volcano for the past 24 hours, the &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":44,"featured_media":242575,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1145,16,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-244010","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headline","category-news","category-news-ph","mauthors-ma-cristina-arayata","mauthors-philippine-news-agency"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244010","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/44"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=244010"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244010\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":244011,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/244010\/revisions\/244011"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/242575"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=244010"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=244010"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=244010"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
