The eruption of the Kanlaon volcano in the Philippines today sends miles of air in the air

The area on the island of blacks around the Kanlaon volcano, one of 24 active volcanoes In the Southeast Asian nation, it was still under evacuation orders of a Eruption in December.

There were no reports of injuries or damage to the eruption of Tuesday that dispersed ashes in at least four agricultural peoples, said the Institute of Volcanology and Seismology of the Philippines.

The agency said in a statement that the “explosive eruption” began at 5:51 am local time.

The volcano produced “a voluminous bent column of approximately 4,000 meters high that is moving towards the southwest,” he said.

The eruption stopped at 6:47 am (6:47 PM EDT Monday), the institute reported later.

The videos published on social networks showed a large and undulating smoke plume that extends slowly to the sky.

“We were prepared for the eruption. Families within 4 to 6 kilometers (approximately 2.5 miles at approximately 3.7 miles) have already been evacuated during the previous eruption last December,” John De Asis, a rescue official in the municipality of La Castellana of the province of Western blacks, said the French news agency News.

Channel Nicor, 22, said she was waiting for a bus to take her to school when she hit the eruption.

“The sound seemed that a great rock had fallen from a high place, then I looked up and saw that the (ash cloud) became larger and larger on the volcano,” he told News.

“When I saw ash, of course, I felt nervous, but not as nervous as the previous eruption, because this time we know what to do,” he said.

The level alert three, of a five -scale scale, established during the December eruption, remained unchanged.

Ben Edwards, a professor of geosciences at Dickinson College in Pennsylvania, said in “News Evening News Plus” on Monday that eruptions worldwide are almost daily occurrences.

“The earth is made of tectonic plates, and at the edges of the plates they are where all the activity occurs mainly, that is where there are earthquakes, that is where there are volcanoes and other things, and therefore, in a general sense, all that activity is related to the fact that we live on an active planet where literally the surface of the planet under its feet moves essentially every day, but very slowly, very slowly.

In September, hundreds of nearby residents were evacuated after Kanlaon sprouted thousands of tons of harmful gases in a single day.

In 1996, three hikers were killed near the peak and several others were rescued later when Kanlaon broke out without prior notice, authorities said at that time.

Where is the Kanlaon volcano in the Philippines?

The volcano is located in the central part of the Philippines, which is found in the “Fire Ring” of the Pacific, a region prone to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The archipelago is also whipped by about 20 typhoons and storms per year, which makes it one of the most prone to the world’s disaster countries.
