Main Idea

Volcanoes give warning signs of their impending eruption.

Example/s:

The following are commonly observed signs that a volcano is about to erupt. These precursors may vary from
volcano to volcano.
1. Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling sounds; occurrence of volcanic
tremors.
2. Increased steaming activity; change in color of steam from white to gray due to entrained ash
3. Crater glow due to presence of magma at or near the crater
4. Ground swells (or inflation), ground tilt and ground fissuring due to magma intrusion
5. Localized landslides, rock falls and landslides from the summit area that are not attributed to heavy
rains
6. Noticeable increase in drying up of vegetation around the volcano's upper slopes
7. Increase in temperature of hot springs, wells (e.g. Bulusan and Canlaon) and crater lake (e.g. Taal)
near the volcano
8. Noticeable variation in the chemical content of springs, crater lakes within the vicinity of the
volcano
9. Drying up of springs/wells around the volcano
10. Development of new thermal areas and/or reactivation of old ones; appearance of solfataras
(craters with sulfur gas)

Activity/Exercises:

Directions: Read and understand the following Signs of Impending Volcanic Eruption.
Fill in the blanks with the correct answer.

Some of the early warning signs for an impending volcanic eruption are increased in frequency of (1)
_______________ with rumbling sounds; change in steam color from (2) _______________ to (3)
_______________; and crater glow 25 at or near the crater due to presence of (4) _______________.
Furthermore, noticeable increase in (5) _______________ of vegetation, hot springs, wells, lakes near the
volcano is observed due to increase in (6) _______________.

Activity Title: Volcano Hazard Maps
Learning Targets: Demonstrate how to use the different volcano hazard maps for evacuation planning

Main Idea
Volcano hazard maps show an aerial view of the areas on the ground that could be affected by volcanic activity
during and after an eruption. They are developed so that those who are responsible for the people at risk would be
informed about the dangers that would be brought about by a volcanic eruption.
Example/s:
1. The Hazard Profile of Mayon Volcano
released by UN OCHA shows six hazard
maps. The hazard maps (left to right) for
lahar, ashfall, lava flow, pyroclastic flow,
come from the DOST PHIVOLCS
(Department of Science & Technology –
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and
Seismology). The hazard maps for floods,
and landslides are from the MGB (Mines
and Geosciences Bureau). If you notice, the
hazards are shown using only one color, that
is, brown. The darker the shade, the greater
the danger of the hazard to the particular
area. The lighter the shade, the lesser is the
danger to the area.
2. The Hazard Map for Taal Volcano
shows the three hazards that Taal Volcano
generates. These hazards are the base surge,
ballistic projectiles, and lake water
oscillation (standing waves). The three
hazards are found in just one map, unlike the
hazard profile of Mayon. This hazard map is
part of the larger map used by the
Emergency Response Coordination Center
(ERCC). The other part shows the
evacuation centers, the numbers of affected
population and the number of evacuated
people.

Activity/Exercises:
Directions: Please answer the questions
below while referring to Taal Volcano Hazard Map shown above. Use long bond paper to answer this activity.

1. Give three communities are indicated to be safe from standing wave (lake water oscillation) hazard?
2. Which communities are not prone to base surges?
3. Which community is in danger to all the three hazards?
4. Give 5 communities round the volcano island where evacuation centers for volcanic hazards will not be located.
