MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 There were 45 volcanic earthquakes recorded in Taal for the past 24 hours, a little more than the 32 volcanic quakes recorded the previous day, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) said Tuesday.<\/p>\n

“(The 45 volcanic quakes) are associated with magmatic processes beneath the edifice. Two of these events were felt at 7:37 p.m. and 7:51 p.m. at Intensity 1 in Barangay Bilibinwang, Agoncillo, Batangas,” it added.<\/p>\n

Volcanic earthquakes are caused by movements or eruptions of magma from the volcano.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, weak emission of plumes measuring 50 to 100 meters has been observed in Taal Volcano for the past few days, as it remains under Alert Level 2 (decreased unrest).<\/p>\n

The weaker eruption is based on the height of the plume coming out of the crater.<\/p>\n

Volcanic plume or eruption plume is a column of hot volcanic ash and gas emitted into the atmosphere during an explosive volcanic eruption.<\/p>\n

Phivolcs reiterated that entry into Taal Volcano Island, Taal\u2019s Permanent Danger Zone, must be strictly prohibited.<\/p>\n

People are also advised to observe precautions due to ground displacement across fissures, frequent ashfall, and minor earthquakes.<\/p>\n

The magma intrusion from below causes the fissures to form, Phivolcs director Renato Solidum Jr. said.<\/p>\n

A fissure is a linear volcanic vent through which lava erupts, usually without any explosive activity.<\/p>\n

The vent is often a few meters wide and may be many kilometers long.<\/p>\n

Likewise, local government units are advised to additionally assess previously evacuated areas within the seven-kilometer radius for damages and road accessibilities, and to strengthen preparedness, contingency and communication measures in case of renewed unrest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
