Bacolcol explained that effusive eruptions are slow moving, produce less ash and are “generally less violent than explosive eruptions.”
“From yesterday until this morning, we have had 21 volcanic earthquakes. It increased a bit but these were weak and then yung seismic energy they released are on the background level,” he said in a mix of English and Filipino. Bacolcol pointed out that the recent volcanic activities are not enough to raise the alert level from 3 to 4.He said that sudden increase of released sulfur dioxide would be an indicator, as well as increased seismic activities.
Bacolcol also said that they are waiting to see if there is an inflation of the volcanic edifice, but they can only see it on the volcano’s slope. Other factors that they are looking for include lava fountaining, and the presence of minor explosions.
