On January 23, in the Province of Albay in the Philippines, Mount Mayon erupted ash. Located in Albay Province in the southeast of luzon in the Philippines, Mount Mayon is about 330 kilometers from Manila, the capital of the Philippines, at an altitude of about 2,400 meters, making it one of the most active volcanoes in the Philippines.
Over the past few days, the Maron Volcano in the Philippines has continued to erupt, and volcanic ash has drifted to nearby towns.
On January 30, the Maron Volcano in the Philippines erupted violently again. The CCTV reporter witnessed this scene at the scene and followed the direction of volcanic ash to visit the town at the foot of the mountain.
The Maron Volcano is still highly active
At around 10 a.m., a full picture of The Maron Volcano was just captured at an observation point. At this time, the crater is erupting magma and ash, and the middle of the volcano has a white cloud-like substance, which is the smoke emitted by the lava gushing out of the volcano mixed with the water mist in the air.
According to data released by the Philippine Institute of Volcanoes and Seismology, on the evening of the 29th, the Mayon Volcano had a lava gush for up to an hour and a half, and the number of volcanic earthquakes was as high as 119 times.
Emergencies! The volcano erupted violently again
At about 12 o'clock, The Ma Rong Volcano suddenly erupted violently again, and a large amount of volcanic ash rolled down from the south and southeast sides of the mountain. The volcano rumbled and sounded like a small explosion was taking place inside.
The ash then dispersed into the air, and the entire ash mass became larger and larger, and drifted with the wind to the southwest side of Mount Maron.
Volcanic ash is pervasive The lives of local residents are affected
The town of Camaríg is where the volcanic ash just landed.
In the town, visibility was noticeably reduced and almost all people wore masks. Volcanic ash falls on the eyes and there is a very pronounced tingling sensation. The ash fell almost like rain in the first half hour.
Subsequently, the density of volcanic ash gradually thinned out and almost melted into the air. People began to clean their houses, and life in the town gradually returned to normal. Government departments have also sent fire trucks to clean the neighborhood of volcanic ash.
The most affected by volcanic ash is farmland. A large area of rice leaves is almost covered with volcanic ash, and banana trees in the distance are not spared. Volcanic ash can block plant photosynthesis, but there is no particularly good way to wash it away until the next rain.
At present, the warning level of Ma Rong Volcano is still maintained at level 4.
