Kanlaon Volcano Remains Free From Any Signs Of Activity
KANLAON VOLCANO – Kanlaon Volcano, which is situated in the island of Negros, still remains free from any kind of volcanic activity.
Kanlaon Volcano Observatory volcanologist Engineer Andylene Quintia said that the volcano still remained in alert level zero and is unaffected by the eruption of Taal Volcano in Batangas.
“Ibang bulkan ito. May sarili siyang magma system. Iba-iba ang activity for every volcano. Wala pong kinalaman yung activity ng Taal kung sa Kanlaon,”
“Currently po nasa alert level zero pa rin po ang Kanlaon Volcano. Ibig po sabihin noon ay nasa normal levels po lahat ng volcanic parameters.”(This is a different volcano with a different magma system. There are different activities for every volcano and the activity in Taal has nothing to do with Kanlaon.)
(This means that all volcanic parameters are currently in normal levels.)
According to Inquirer’s Cebu Daily News, Quinta added that they considered the seismicity of earthquakes, ground deformation, and emission of sulfur dioxide, among others, further clarifying that Kanlaon was a regular routine of their observatory and had nothing to do with Taal.
Kanlaon is the highest peak of the island of Negros, which is 36 kilometers southeast of Bacolod City, Negros Occidental. It is also the highest peak of the entire Visayan island group,
It has erupted at about 29 times for the past 2 centuries, with the last one in 2016. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology lowered the alert in Kanlaon to zero or normal level last October 2019, this means that no magmatic eruption is foreseen in the immediate future
As per the report, the institute listed at about 24 volcanoes that are classified active. This means that they have erupted within historical times (within the last 600 years).
“Accounts of these eruptions were documented by man to have erupted within the last 10,000 years based on the analyses of materials from young volcanic deposits,
