@@DieselRamcharger Except this isn't about carbon (CO2), the said SO2, which is Sulfur Dioxide. Globally humans put about 100m tons of SO2 into the atmosphere, down from close to 150m tons just a couple of years ago.

I was there in 1996 and in 2017. It was beautiful in 1996, I was the only person there on the day I went. Then in 2017 it was a crowded, ugly, polluted tourist trap.
Hi there thanks for the update. I told my brother to watch your video. He has a resort by the mountains close to the caldera. There's different towns surrounding Mt. Taal . It's surrounded also by different mountains. I told him maybe we're inside the big caldera? You can hardly see it because it's all greens now and surrounded by mountains and hills. There were people also built houses by Mt. Taal itself and with the last explosion they were destroyed. They all have a hardtime getting their horses they use for tourist to see. There's also a vlogger swimming inside Mt. Taal and he took a video of it right before the explosion. I forgot his name but everyone looked back at his video.
It is in the middle of a huge caldera, they call it caldera de madre. The mother caldera. It is the original volcano that formed the Philippine islands. Sad because that is a beautiful spot, and nice and cool temp there. Taygatay is the nearby resort town. A great relief spot from the Manilla heat without being too far away.
There is some livestreams of the cone as of now. You can see a steaming plume over the crater lake. There is report of upwelling in the central lake. Still, after the 2020 eruption, since inflation was continuing. I was certains that 2020 was a prelude for a new eruptive phase at that volcano. Peoples should be ready to evacuate, that volcano is a beast that should not be underestimated.
Oh dear. Can't imagine having that threat in my neighborhood... my heart goes out to all those who must be evacuated. Hope they may all return home safely in the future. We're pulling for ya!
Welp, it been spewing a lot of CO2 and sulfur dioxide for a week, if not a few days. Doesn't surprise me. With that info, was expecting it sooner. This time had a decent warning, not all geo structures and times with this one are that generous in the pre signs.
Very interesting activity and a rather disturbing prediction too. I hope those on the island pay attention to your warnings and to evacuation notices. It's history seems to be fairly consistent as to previous behaviors. Thanks for the report and update.
Ah, best anology, and some eruptions are magma mixing caused like adding mentos to soda but reverse their consistancies, with basalt and rholite and diacite magmas. Signs of such are pumice rocks and pumice pebbles, water causes more ashy eruptions.
@@razorransom1795 Thanks for the elaboration, this is a subject I have recently become interested in due to the increase in volcanic activity over the past few years. As you seem to know your stuff about these things, is the creation of pumice and ash due to the water turning to high pressure stem and expansion?
@@stevemchadd yes with the ash, the water causing mini hydro thermal explosions with really hot magma contact, turning any stone created or in the blast radius into really fine ash. Now with the pummice, eh, maybe if some salt water is coming up with the basalt. In the Pummice creation case, its the mixing and remelting of cooled gas rich rhyolite or andresite magma with really hot runny fresh from in the outer core or inner mantle basalt magma, and when that just shot out magma cools quickly, ya can see the rock being porous due to the trapped gas bubbles in it. Been keeping an eye here and there on this geo activity for a while with also listening and watching any documentaries on eruptions historical and more modern and their affects. This was mostly due to some catholic visionary prophecies sounding erriely similar to geo events, some passed down others stumpled upon as researching the others, and seeing yellowstone's lid showing event March 17 2010, which created that lake rift and knowing about its uplift in 2004 due to an article came across in library class looking up news topics for a research paper. For a good explanation on sea water vs magma mixing for volcanic eruptions, i got the info from a documentary on krakitoa 1883 eruption. And it fascinated me on how all the different ways they can erupt and their timing on if there are any pre markers/signs/signals or not, and their affects on civilization, history and the geo gases involved. Ah, yes, this is the one to be precise on krakitoa 1883 eruption, goes into very good detail on it and what caused it. Opened my eyes that hydrothermal isn't the only one to do fast eruption gas release: th-cam.com/video/MrEIT66oPqU/w-d-xo.html
@@stevemchadd well, water in general, can cause such from flash steam creation, but it is even worse with salt water cause when it mixes down below, it can melt more rock at a lower pressure than what it usually needs to melt, making that molten rock hotter, thus making more rock melt quickly.
I was there 2 years ago, visiting the in-laws. Taal Lake, was such a beautiful place, so serene. Lush and green as far as the eye could see and blue clear water in the lake. There were fish farms in the lake and crater there were little family farms and ranchs, resturaunts that over looked the lake around the whole caldera, on the island there was some farms. Nature is powerful and amazing in both it's beauty and destructiveness
Makes me think of the 300+ year old lake that was boiled off and the coastal ponds that were overun in Kilauea's 2018 eruption. Beautiful places that only exist in memory, now. 💔
Thanks for the good information video. So do you thinking that the next main eruption will be stronger than last year eruption? I hope I can get the answer. Thank u!
The AP put out a story on this earlier today calling it "A small volcano" and "one of the world’s smallest volcanoes". I facepalmed so hard I'm surprised I didn't hurt myself. Just because it's short doesn't make it a "small" volcano.
Forgive them for they don’t know what they’re saying...🤣🤣🤣 all they need to do is stand at the ridge in Tagaytay City and look at the lake in its entirety and know if they have an iota of knowledge that the whole shebang is a huge caldera...🤣🤣🤣
If the lake flows down through crack into the deeper parts of the vulcano, a massive explosion can happen at the scale of the current lake. I think this vulcano is extremely dangerous to everyone on the island, even if you are further apart from the crater.
So is carbonic acid ( a gas that causes people a lot of pain and curl into that ball shape in pompai and a Azores volcano eruption 1808 Bocas de fogo) and a few other acids and hydrogen halides. Nasty volcanic stuff no matter what.
FWIW, I recall something said in the Command Post at Clark AFB, PI. Mt Pinatubo was continuing to build up for the expected eruption, and all of the AFB assets had been evacuated. With the remaining command structure present there was yet another ominous earthquake that spelled only more trouble. As the CP emptied for the final time the geological expert in the room was heard to say, “ Put some jelly in your pockets guys ‘ cause (sic) we’re about to become toast.”.
3 months after this vid, no eruption yet, thank goodness. Any updates regarding Taal's chances of erupting any time this year or the next? The 2020 eruption was a VEI 4 eruption. When you say higher than that, does it necessarily mean a higher VEI (like a 5)??? A 5 is terrifying to think given the population in the area.
So will 2022 be a colder year then? Maybe not "snow in August in New England cold", but enough so that there won't be such major heat waves next year? In all seriousness, I hope things go as well as they can in the Philippines.
Can't believe this got recommended to me a week before my grandparents go back home to Manila 😳 Ta'al is such a cool and fascinating place to explore! Hopefully all of the cool shops and restaurants lining the caldera will recover.
What kind of lava does Taal usually erupt? Is it properly silicic (andesite and above), or is it more basaltic and the water plays a bigger role in the explosivity than the silica content?
Taal is andesite-basalt volcano.And taal produce much more violent eruption than lava fountaining.But taal has first strombolian eruption in 1968,1969.And the magma is high silica content so its can produce a large eruption.
Taal can be a real mystery sometimes. I wonder whether or not this next eruption will be a big one, on a grand scale like Pinatubo or a similar one to last year's event?
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 Or maybe not even. Novarupta was much larger than Pinatubo. We just never know and we're definitely behind on VEI 6&7 eruption rate timeframes historically speaking.
@@TyranyFighterPatriot the last vei 7 eruption is in mt tambora right?And taal emmiting alot of sulfur dioxide and not exploding.In 2020 taal only emit 5k tonnes of so2 with eruption.but now its emmitting 22k of so2 without eruption.
Please do a review of iztaccihuatl its next to Popocatépetl in Mexico, for me it is one of the most beautiful volcanos, also the aztec legend that goes with it is amazing, thanks!
The island in the middle of the larger lake could be completely destroyed if it has a VEI-5 eruption with how much CO2 is being detected I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s eruption is a VEI-5.
@@KaiserStormTracking there’s been way more earthquakes than before the 2020 eruption and way more CO2 also but it’s hard trying to predict the size of the eruption though.
Completely off topic but, what do you think of the earthquake swarms around Yelloswtone? They reported several earthquakes greater than magnitude 2 this week.
There's a ancient volcano in Australia called the Cerberean Caldera which underwent a super eruption 374 Mya, which in turn contributed to the Late Devonian Extinction event . Please do a video on this volcano I want to find out more about it .
I know it a small chance but if the hole lake goes then your circle of preparedness is to small. There is a possibility of the island falling in as it goes triggering a bigger event.
Evacuations to be Indentated to A wider area from the Volcano ,, for Pyroclastic Flames falling from overhead. Causing more ground fires. Due to the Tropical Monsoons usually Pass Through the region's from where I'm located,, and Then Rise from Hitting the Himalayan Ranges to slowly move along Eastwards. Then the Low Pressure system over the Bay of Bengal regions cause the Movement of the Retreating Monsoons from late September and October in The Region's at Bay of Bengal.. Last 50kms plus storm surge passed from the Region 48 plus to 72 hours time scales is on ist 12am Tuesday. currently local time is 305am at ist . GMT is past 10 pm Sunday currently.
We are approximately 18km away from the volcano in Lipa...although we're shielded by hills 300-400m above sea level And we are already prepared to evacuate in case a major eruption occurs.. too bad it's beginning of typhoon season hopefully it wouldn't erupt the same time a storm pass by like what happened in 1991
Oh god, even if the volcano is situated in middle of lake, the settlement near lake can be threatened by pyroclastic flow, (hope the filipino ppl is stay safe & stay alert for worse scenario) btw how could be the pyroclastic flow & surge can travel across water ?
Since the pyroclastic flow is composed of ash and hot gases it is not dense like a lava flow and thus can run along the top of the water which is much denser.
Because Taal lake used to be connected to the sea so the people there built port towns to trade with the Chinese, Indians and Arabs. When the destructive 1754 eruption happened, some of the lakeside towns were abandoned. Sala disappeared without a trace, Tanauan moved further inland, Lipa moved the city to the nearby plateau at the foot of Mt. Malepunyo. The former location of Lipa is now known as the town of Mataas Na Kahoy.
Worst case scenario for taal is a circular wave like eruption where ash will be spewed upwards then come back down creating a wave of ash traveling at incredible speed.
I thought that there was a major eruption,too. But it's so strange that it didn't happen... while I believe the major eruption is not the matter of if, but when.
Any future eruptions from Taal will be similar to the one shown at the start of the video however it can still have caldera building eruptions of VEI6-7 but they are rare hence why its a decade volcano
Taal is that entire lake... that itty bitty thing in the middle is the active one right now but the entire lake is the caldera itself called Taal Lake... the smaller lake is just called crater lake and the island where it’s located is volcano island...
We've been doing a terrible job of teaching geography in the US.... The country is the Philippines, a nation encompassing a large group of islands south of Taiwan and China, and north of Indonesia and Australia. I recommend becoming familiar with world geography, as so much is international and interconnected these days. There are plenty of great channels on YT with related content such as Atlas Pro, Geographics, Caspian Report, Interesting Maps, and more. Good luck on your journey! ✌️😎
Taal refers to the main lake or the caldera itself... the island in the middle of that lake is just called volcano island and the lake in that island as crater lake... crazy ain’t it?!?🤣🤣🤣
Taal seems to produce sequences of eruptions in a relatively short timespan before becoming dormant for a period of several decades (typically 50 years).

No. Taal Lake (not the Taal Volcanic Island that sits inside Taal Lake) has to generate at least VEI 7 for that to happen.
@@OperationEndGame Unlikely I agree, lets not hope for something on that scale.
Let's hope everyone who lives there is safe and hopefully it wont be to large of a eruption while that would be cool it is much more dangerous
I like “tephra” ring better than “tuff” ring, I’ll bet there are larger than ash-size tephra in those.
What is a volcanic tsunami? I heard you used that term in the video. Is that a giant wave generated by an eruption?
Yeah or by a Volcanic Collapse
@@KaiserStormTracking like Krakatoa's in 1883
@@TyranyFighterPatriot Or in 2018
Do you have a link to the footage of the explosion? I can't seem to find it myself
PHIVOLCS has the footage on thier facebook
Here's the link

Thank you for this update.
To recap: Volcano go kablewy soon
Can't believe this got recommended to me a week before my grandparents go back home to Manila 😳
Ta'al is such a cool and fascinating place to explore! Hopefully all of the cool shops and restaurants lining the caldera will recover.
What was the vei scale of 2020 eruption
VEI-4
What kind of lava does Taal usually erupt? Is it properly silicic (andesite and above), or is it more basaltic and the water plays a bigger role in the explosivity than the silica content?
Taal is andesite-basalt volcano.And taal produce much more violent eruption than lava fountaining.But taal has first strombolian eruption in 1968,1969.And the magma is high silica content so its can produce a large eruption.
@@МарионДжоши so pretty much like Vesuvius and pinatubo 🤔
Can you make another video about the volcanoes of Utah? Preferably the shield volcanoes and the volcanoes you recommend visiting.
Taal can be a real mystery sometimes. I wonder whether or not this next eruption will be a big one, on a grand scale like Pinatubo or a similar one to last year's event?
If it would be like pinatubo, it will become the biggest volcanic eruption of 21st century.
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 Or maybe not even. Novarupta was much larger than Pinatubo. We just never know and we're definitely behind on VEI 6&7 eruption rate timeframes historically speaking.
@@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457 Really? How sure are you?
@@TyranyFighterPatriot the last vei 7 eruption is in mt tambora right?And taal emmiting alot of sulfur dioxide and not exploding.In 2020 taal only emit 5k tonnes of so2 with eruption.but now its emmitting 22k of so2 without eruption.
Can you give us, your fellow geologists, the general magma type, just felsic, mafic or intermediate, at least, thanks?
WOW, That's now 44 simultaneous eruptions around the planet.........normally around 20 simultaneous!
44 what volcanoes erupted this year?
@@bpcomlee8052 44 simultaneously erupting / active at one point in time!.........double the average
@@BleughBleugh Incorrect we are within the average. 50-60 volcanoes erupt per year on average
@@KaiserStormTracking correct, average of 50-60 eruptions per year. average of 20 at the SAME TIME...currently over 40 AT THE SAME TIME
@@BleughBleugh Still Normal
Unless we have a VEI5 then I would be worried
To me, the most interesting thing is the pyroclastic flow. Wish you would have shown more than 5 seconds of that.
Please do a review of iztaccihuatl its next to Popocatépetl in Mexico, for me it is one of the most beautiful volcanos, also the aztec legend that goes with it is amazing, thanks!
Can Taal have another caldera forming eruption in the near future?
Yes it could but thats unlikely
I think so
The island in the middle of the larger lake could be completely destroyed if it has a VEI-5 eruption with how much CO2 is being detected I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s eruption is a VEI-5.
@@bigrooster6893 Same. That would be the only VEI5 so far of the decade
@@KaiserStormTracking there’s been way more earthquakes than before the 2020 eruption and way more CO2 also but it’s hard trying to predict the size of the eruption though.
Completely off topic but, what do you think of the earthquake swarms around Yelloswtone? They reported several earthquakes greater than magnitude 2 this week.
Just normal swarming
I was asking in good faith as I have no knowledge of geology relevant to make an informed decision on anyone's analysis.
There's a ancient volcano in Australia called the Cerberean Caldera which underwent a super eruption 374 Mya, which in turn contributed to the Late Devonian Extinction event . Please do a video on this volcano I want to find out more about it .
Good info thanks
Please say what country this events like this occur in, thanks.
Sounds like a ticking bomb.
Prayers for the people there🙏
Oh my so much has happened since I last checked on the Taal volcano
it seems crazy people are allowed to live inside this crater.
Where is this? Ahh, Philippines.
Has this effected and/or what is the status of the Toba caldera
Its still at Green
@@KaiserStormTracking thanks
A video on the recently raised alert levels for the volcanoes in Alaska
Please tell us everything you can about the Iceland volcano… the lava tubes and lava flies are s fascinating
Compared to before It erupted last year it looked so beautiful now its just sad and grey
I know it a small chance but if the hole lake goes then your circle of preparedness is to small. There is a possibility of the island falling in as it goes triggering a bigger event.
I'm way more curious about what makes people talk like the foot lettuce guy when making videos
voice disguise software
Evacuations to be Indentated to A wider area from the Volcano ,, for Pyroclastic Flames falling from overhead. Causing more ground fires.
Due to the Tropical Monsoons usually Pass Through the region's from where I'm located,, and Then Rise from Hitting the Himalayan Ranges to slowly move along Eastwards.
Then the Low Pressure system over the Bay of Bengal regions cause the Movement of the Retreating Monsoons from late September and October in The Region's at Bay of Bengal..
Last 50kms plus storm surge passed from the Region 48 plus to 72 hours time scales is on ist 12am Tuesday. currently local time is 305am at ist . GMT is past 10 pm Sunday currently.
We are approximately 18km away from the volcano in Lipa...although we're shielded by hills 300-400m above sea level And we are already prepared to evacuate in case a major eruption occurs.. too bad it's beginning of typhoon season hopefully it wouldn't erupt the same time a storm pass by like what happened in 1991
Oh god, even if the volcano is situated in middle of lake, the settlement near lake can be threatened by pyroclastic flow, (hope the filipino ppl is stay safe & stay alert for worse scenario)
btw how could be the pyroclastic flow & surge can travel across water ?
Since the pyroclastic flow is composed of ash and hot gases it is not dense like a lava flow and thus can run along the top of the water which is much denser.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 as seen in the footage and the immediate day after Krakatoas collapse in 2018
That ash and steam that is moving away from the collapsing plume is a base surge
Base Surge aka Pyroclastic Flow/ or Surge
Same thing different name
@@KaiserStormTracking I can see a tuff ring or a maar forming soon
Better than 'Fun with Flags'. Love it.
1ST!! Greetings from the Philippines!!
Im reminded of how close I am from my visits to Tagaytay.
People (Filipinos) live on the shore of this small island and on the shore of Lake Taal. Unbelievable. But true.
Because Taal lake used to be connected to the sea so the people there built port towns to trade with the Chinese, Indians and Arabs. When the destructive 1754 eruption happened, some of the lakeside towns were abandoned. Sala disappeared without a trace, Tanauan moved further inland, Lipa moved the city to the nearby plateau at the foot of Mt. Malepunyo. The former location of Lipa is now known as the town of Mataas Na Kahoy.
Worst case scenario for taal is a circular wave like eruption where ash will be spewed upwards then come back down creating a wave of ash traveling at incredible speed.
I thought that there was a major eruption,too. But it's so strange that it didn't happen... while I believe the major eruption is not the matter of if, but when.
well the models won't wrong since yesterday(17th) it once again erupted for a third time in the current eruptive phase
Exactly! My wife's family lives in Lipa, close but I think in the safe zone.
Well the teel volcano is a supervolcano
No it isn’t. The largest known eruption it produced was a VEI 6, not an 8.
And besides that the caldera is not near big enough to be considered a super volcano.
@@michaeldeierhoi4096 It is big man. I've been there. The entire lake is (or was) the volcano itself.
Is there a potential for Taal to have a giant supervolcanic eruption like Toba or Yellowstone?
Any future eruptions from Taal will be similar to the one shown at the start of the video however it can still have caldera building eruptions of VEI6-7 but they are rare hence why its a decade volcano
@@KaiserStormTracking then why is Vesuvius and mount rainier don’t have that type of eruption 🤔
Billy Mitchell volcano and Bagna PNG Bougainville please !!!🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬🇵🇬
Have you seen the short?
Is this the island inside a lake iside an island inside a lake inside an island?
Yes
Taal is that entire lake... that itty bitty thing in the middle is the active one right now but the entire lake is the caldera itself called Taal Lake... the smaller lake is just called crater lake and the island where it’s located is volcano island...
I was there in 2014. Crazy!
Wow... only 66km from Manila... that means Manila is in a dangerous zone if there's a large eruption...?
You got your info wrong. The Taal volcano is 102 km or 63 miles from Manila. Due south.
TH-cam is suggesting a video about a volcano on the verge of collapse with a shattering explosiong uploaded 14 hours ago
More to come!
2:20 OHH
Next VEI 5 or 6???
Hope not
So are you saying taal volcano might be a super volcano or normal volcano
It’s the weakest super volcano
so where is it...? the map is not known to nearly anyone... what country is it in?
the Philippines. Can't you read?
We've been doing a terrible job of teaching geography in the US.... The country is the Philippines, a nation encompassing a large group of islands south of Taiwan and China, and north of Indonesia and Australia. I recommend becoming familiar with world geography, as so much is international and interconnected these days. There are plenty of great channels on YT with related content such as Atlas Pro, Geographics, Caspian Report, Interesting Maps, and more.
Good luck on your journey! ✌️😎
@@erinmcdonald7781 the neighbourhood is a hot spot where WW3 can start and nobody knows...🤣🤣🤣

beautifully natural eruption volcano and lava...
keeep go go go continue volcano lava activity
Did this happen recently
Today
Recently yes such as in today at 3:16PM Local time
1:09 That there is an image of an island in a lake on and island in a lake on an island.
Praying for the people 🙏
Hey please tell us where is Taal ?
Batangas, Philippines
TALL: A volcano on an island in a lake on an island in a lake on an island in the Pacific Ocean.
Taal refers to the main lake or the caldera itself... the island in the middle of that lake is just called volcano island and the lake in that island as crater lake... crazy ain’t it?!?🤣🤣🤣
