Week 4 - Volcano


Taal Volcano

Today I decided to visit Taal Volcano in the Philippines. If you look it up the Crater Lake is the largest lake on an island in a lake on an island in the world. The Volcano along with a few others are located here due to the subduction of the Eurasian plate under the Philippines mobile belt. It appeared to have violent eruptions due to parts of the volcano being blown out. I would say it was very explosive when walking around and seeing what it did to the surrounding areas. Due to its violent past and it being still active it would not be a smart idea to live near it. With it being explosive at times it will probably shoot ash and other things into the air which can cause problems for the surrounding areas. The volcano is still active so it will likely erupt again sometime in the future.
