PATULOY ang pag-alburuto ng Mayon volcano dahilan para itaas ng Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) Alert Level 3.
Nangangahulugan, posible umano ang “hazardous eruption”, ayon sa Phivolcs.
“Since the Alert Level status was raised from Alert Level 1 to Alert Level 2 on 05 June 2023, repeated collapse of the growing summit dome of Mayon Volcano has generated an increasing number and volume of rockfall events,” sabi ng Phivolcs.
Idinagdag ng Phivolcs na umabot nsa 267 rockfall events at dalawang volcanic earthquake and naitala mula Hunyo 5 hanggang 8 kumpara sa 54 rockfall events mula Hunyo 1 hanggang 4.
“Phivolcs is now raising the alert status of Mayon Volcano from Alert Level 2 to Alert Level 3. This means that Mayon is exhibiting magmatic eruption of a summit lava dome, with increased chances of lava flows and hazardous PDCs affecting the upper to middle slopes of the volcano and of potential explosive activity within weeks or even days,” dagdag ng Phivolcs.
