PINATUBO ERUPTION
WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ?

The second-largest volcanic eruption of the century

and by far the largest eruption to affect a densely

populated area, occurred at Mount Pinatubo in the

Philippines on June 15, 1991.

degree C in 1992.

During the time of the eruption, Tropical Storm

Yunya was passing to the northeast of Mt.
Pinatubo, causing a large amount of rainfall in
the region. The ash that was ejected from the
volcano mixed with the water in the air caused a
rainfall of tephra that fell across almost the
entire island of Luzon.
