(google translation) Volcano Update 30: 11.21: Pinatubo November 30, 2021 by Marc Szeglat The phreatic eruption on Pinatubo has been officially confirmed. Pinatubo: eruption confirmed Country: Philippines | Coordinates: 15.13, 120.35 | Eruption: steam emission This morning it was not entirely clear whether there was actually an eruption on the Philippine volcano Pinatubo. In the meantime, an eruption cloud has been visually confirmed and also detected on satellite photos. However, the eruption clouds consisted almost entirely of water vapor and gas. It contained little volcanic ash and was evidently of phreatic origin. In return, however, the cloud rose unusually high. Perhaps observations by the volcanologists on site will reveal even more precisely what happened. PHILVOLCS recently issued the following statement that the automatic translation is available here: “Based on visual reports of an eruption plume and seismic, infrasound and satellite detections, DOST-PHIVOLCS confirms that a phreatic eruption occurred at Pinatubo crater between 12:09 and 12:13 pm. The event was also confirmed after AFP dumped ordnance on the northern flank of Pinatubo at noon this afternoon, which has nothing to do with the condition of the volcano. So far there have been no reports of ash falling from communities in Zambales over which the eruption flag was distributed. Considering that the volcano's seismic activity has been very low in the past few days and a low diffuse volcanic CO2 flux has been measured at the Pinatubo crater lake, as well as the high infrasound and seismic energy released by the eruption,the event was probably triggered by superficial hydrothermal processes under the building.

(google translation) Pinatubo killed hundreds of people in 1991 Some readers may wonder why the steam explosion at Pinatubo is given so much space here? The Pinatubo is responsible for one of the strongest eruptions of the last century and generated a VEI 6 eruption in 1991 . Of course, one is correspondingly concerned when such a volcano shows signs of awakening. At that time, a lava dome grew in the crater and its explosion generated large pyroclastic currents and clouds of ash. 875 people were killed. |
