Nakapagtala ang Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) ngayong Sabado ng 302 volcanic earthquakes sa nakalipas na 24 oras sa Bulkang Taal at nananatiling nakataas ang Alert Level 2 dito.
Sa naturang bilang, 184 ang volcanic tremors na tumagal nang hanggang 12 minuto at 118 low-frequency volcanic earthquakes.
Naitala rin ang emission ng steam-laden plumes mula sa fumarolic vents na tumaas nang hanggang 30 metro mula sa main crater ng Taal.
Nai-record din ng PHIVOLCS ang average na 925 tonnes/day ng sulfur dioxide emission at patuloy pa rin ang obserbasyon sa abnormalidad ng bulkan.
Saad pa ng PHIVOLCS, “DOST-PHIVOLCS reminds the public that at Alert Level 2, sudden steam-driven or phreatic explosions, volcanic earthquakes, minor ashfall, and lethal accumulations or expulsions of volcanic gas can occur and threaten areas within and around TVI (Taal Volcano Island).”
