Province 2011, Oct 2006-07, 2015. The
Mar-Jun 2006, eruption
1994, 1988, 1983, produced an

explosion
1933 1886, 1852

lasted for 11
minutes. Sounds
were heard 6km
from the summit.
The eruption
produced a 200 m
high ash plume
which caused
ashfall in nearby
areas.

What I Have Learned

 I have learned to determine various volcano-related hazards and their effects.
The volcanic hazards are lava flows, ashfall, pyroclastic flows, and surges, lahars,
volcanic gasses, volcanic landslides, ballistic projectiles, and tsunami. The possible
impacts include loss of lives and total devastation.
 I have learned to recognize signs of an impending volcanic eruption. For Ground
Deformation, some subtle ground movements (in millimeters) may be detected by
sensitive instruments and equipment are observed. For Geochemical Changes, the
observable signs are changes in temperature (higher than usual), changes in pH (more
acidic) and changes in the concentration of gases (sudden abrupt increase in levels). In
terms of Seismic Activity, increase in number of volcanic earthquakes recorded is
notable. For Sensory Observations. Intensified steaming activity, changes from slow
white to gray steam(suggests increasing presence of ash), drying up of vegetation,
streams, and water wells, crater glow at the summit area, increasing frequency of rolling
rocks from the summit; localized landslides not related to heavy rains can be seen,
smelling sulfur (rotten eggs) can be smelt, ground movement/ volcanic earthquake can
be felt, and hearing rumbling sound can be heard.
 I have learned to interpret different volcano hazard maps. The basic parts include map
title, legend, and scale. The purposes of volcano hazard maps are assessing safe and
dangerous zones, and planning for emergency mitigation and response. I can access
one from our community’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council and also
through online.
