The volcano on the Philippines erupted with ash during a phreatomagmatic eruption, according to PHIVOLCS. The eruption consisted of three waves involving dark gray ash emissions and clouds with high steam content rising up to 1,200 meters above the crater. On video, the eruption appears like an explosion due to the specific type of eruption occurring there. Phreatomagmatic eruptions occur when magma or lava comes into contact with water, creating extremely explosive bursts. The Taal volcano has a lake in its crater, leading to this type of eruption, which has occurred several times in recent years.
