Prior to today, I had the Taal volcano listed under the category of ongoing "significant unrest". This is the highest of three unrest tiers I use which indicates the possibility of volcanic eruptions which could occur with little or no notice. Taal is definitely a strange volcano. If I was to see the same ridiculously high levels of sulfur dioxide at any other volcano, I would be concerned that a major caldera forming eruption was imminent. Yet, at Taal, only small eruptions have occurred. It is a strange volcano, and no, a caldera forming eruption is NOT imminent.
@@shawnbrunel8471 a larger eruption, while elevated, is not very likely. There’s been two VEI 4’s in the last 60 years (1965 and 2020) and a VEI 6 around 3600 BC.
i was there on march 20 when i kept seeing sulphur fumes coming out of the crater and i said "this volcano is gonna erupt again" and it did 6 days later
Taal is not only a highly unpredictable volcano, its a very volatile one too! Being known as a 'dirty volcano', due to its high concentrations of sulphuric emissions, a bít larger eruption could cause mássive reactivity between the volcanic lake's water-reservoir, and the underlying magmachamber, saturated with reactive sulphur. Thus far, this hasent really occured, but more and more smaller eruptions dó indicate there is a monster slowly awakening here.
@@mina_sr_my37 Sorta... It depends on the pressure-buildup of al lthat volatile magma in the underlaying chamber, but if enough pressure manages to create a bigger breach the surface, there are tons of water to leak down into the caldera, which could cause a devastating 'thermic explosion'. also, having that ground devastated by such an initial explosion, add on top of that, it getting saturated with steam. That could cause the entire caldera to blow off'its lid', as the surface-pressure gets compromised heavily! Imagine the Taal-caldera as a supermassive 'Chemistry set'. All sorts of highly reactive substances are present in that magma. Highly sulphuric substances mostly but the real problem is those substances coming into contact wit hthe top-2 reagents on the Periodic Table: Carbon and Oxygen! Now, water consists of H2O: 2 hydrogen and 2 oxygen molecule. Carbon is either Co or CO2, which we find plenty in the air we breathe. Now coming mack the the 'cemistry set comparison"What happens if you add a big cup of water, to that box of chemicals... and then shake the fk out of it? Everything mixes, everything reacts... Then it gets to the surface, and in touch with even more oxygen, but also carbon and... well... 'Big boom' would be the understatement of the century. Sulphiric reactions are hazardous to the environment, and a big explosion would scatted such a hazard, hundreds, if not thousands of miles through the atmosphere. Thats why Taal is such a terribly dangerous volcano! Thus far, we've not even been close to seeing what this monster is truly capable of. And we could consider ourselves lucky for it. A large scale Taal-eruption VEI 5 or 6(god forbid it'll ever get higher..) is already quite the climate changer. Not just that area of Asia. VEI5+ means the ashplume could reach stratospheric heights, means in about 2 weeks, sulhuric particles will have gone global, causing acid rains, devastating vegetation and harvests... Oh man, imma stop here cuz its a straight-up Doomsday-theory(a real threat though!).. I'm sure you get the picture on how BAD of a volcano the Taal really is! Only good part: If something like that were to occure, institutes like PHIVOLCS would be all over it, and manage to evacuate the direct vicinity? Bad part: There is NOTHING we can do to prevent such a thing from happening! Either soon or in the far future.
I'm glad you mentioned the sulfur dioxide emissions, i'm not even worried at a caldera collapse given that's worse case scenario, i'm worried at the health of the people nearby given how toxic the volcano is, the sulfur dioxide emission rate is INSANE. No wonder you called it the most dangerous volcano in the world, i wasn't much aware of it when you made the video, but i was just shocked researching about the amount of sulfur dioxide it constantly emits.
Taal's activity is morning is really weird. It continued to eject volcanic ash, steam and suddenly within 2-3 minutes, it completely stopped like nothing happened. Don't be complacent peeps, especially with Taal showing signs of elevated unrest. Maybe it is just taking a nap or something. Thanks GeologyHub for this video.
Awesome. I visited taal in 2009, beautiful rugged and amazing views, especially from the top. When i was there, there were fishing villages actually on the lake. A lot of people live there, in the danger area. I hope they stay safe.
Thank you! Is good to have information from a geologist - volcanologist. There are months that I know that you have done right predictions about other volcanoes.
I watch Taal daily. I’d love to study this volcano in person. Taal is so beautiful, complex, and unpredictable. High Sulphur dioxide levels are so common they seem normal now lol. Thanks for a great video.
I hope the person who commented on your channel a few months ago in some thread I also commented in that they lived there and ash had hit their house previously sees this, and gets out of there now. Person, whoever you are, be safe.
Thanks to RUclips and channels like this, we are all able to see just how common volcanic eruptions are, in this great big world. But I'm curious 🤔 Are eruptions more frequent than in recent and moderately recent history? Or is it just that we have more access to reporting of eruptions? Is there a website that has an easily read chart or graph that shows the frequency of eruptions, say.., going back hundreds of years? It's probably just a manifestation of my ADHD, but I'm curious about any possible patterns. I'd love link or two. It'll scratch a few of my itches...
Like there are volcanoes we don't even know are currently erupting. Like there was one that they found from space solely due to the clouds it formed and the pumas. It is a giant world we live in.
I'd second this request for some sort of year to year comparison, throw in the recent news of both poles experiencing a significant increase in temperatures and now I'm starting to wonder if Charles Hapgood and friends might just turn out to be correct after all...
One thing I'd wonder is if like with Hunga Tunga the small lake can fill a conduit of lava and violently explode. Granted this isn't like capping the plug with feet and feet of ocean water on top which acts like a counter balance too but still...I wonder with the Taal volcano is something similar can occur on a smaller scale.
Theoretically yes, but in a less explosive manner without landslides. Open google earth and note the prevalence of several hundred meter wide explosion craters on the island.
One of my teammates at work is in a suburb of Manila and wasn't aware of the activity, I sent her your last Taal video and I'll send her this one. I can't imagine living a 2 hour drive from an active volcano without obsessing over it's state, but it's just another Tuesday to her, lol. I guess you can get used to anything. We get used to 9' of snow every winter, she's used to volcano activity reports on the news and we both ignore the storm warnings.
Yep, it might just be another Monday to her, but that could be swayed really quickly, if the winds were to change direction, … blowing any significant amount of the sulfuric gasses coming off of Taal, … Living here in Gadsden, Alabama, seems safe enough, but I sure as the devil, would not want to be in the path of the winds that blow from west to east, were the Yellowstone volcano suddenly awaken, and pop its top, … And I’m curious enough to wonder if there could be any connections, between these volcanoes popping off, & the atomic, & hydrogen bomb testing back between the 1940’s through to the 1980’s, … ??? Might not be any indication, of that sort of connection, … but it sure as Hell makes me wonder, … all they would need is to be jarred in the right pattern, & a piece of the planet could crack off, just like splitting a rock, …
@@johnosman8971 I asked the teammates she's pretty nonchalant about it. Their big worry is air quality, no worries about molten lava. In fact, she took one glance at the report and immediately assumed an air quality alert was going to show up.
Honestly.... There's only so much of a natural disaster you can avoid. People choose to live in Oklahoma and that state is in the heart of tornado ally. People live in California where they are always prone to earthquakes, and their wild fires are almost year round. Same thing for the gulf coast states where they get battered by one hurricane after another. throught the whole season. Although, I think there should be some kind a government code though. Looking at how active the volcano actually is to decide whether anyone should be allowed to build there at a certain radius point.
You use some really amazing stock photos to illustrate different volcanic eruptions and types of flows. It would be stupendous if you could add an identifier to each of them, for viewers who'd like to track them to their source and learn more about each👍.
It might be for the first moments of the eruption, until the crater dries up, it will then transition to a magmatic sequence instead of phreatomagmatic
Woe man! I don't listen to local news very much so I'm getting the update from you. I'm impressed how you keep up with volcanic disturbances around the world. Guess I put off any ideas of visiting Taal. 😁
Fun fact in 1754 the volcano showed something although not really smilar cause the current one is on and off every few weeks, it erupted for 200 days straight and buried 4 major towns.
Can anyone answer why there is always so much sulfur involved in volcanic activity? The material does not seem to be found/surface elsewhere so there must be some connection?!
It's not a supervolcano, it's an oddly dangerous volcano because it has frequent phreatic eruptions(which are impossible to predict) and high sulfur dioxide emissions. Taal apparently had a VEI-7 eruption way back then, but it's not likely it could do pull it off right now given VEI-7 tend to happen after long periods of dormancy.
Hi! I'm Filipina and living 1 city near Taal volcano. Last 2020 it exploded and the ash plumes is no joke, back then I recently woke up from my sleep when everyone is noisy and it's dark outside. I went outside and it's raining, the last thing I remembered is that my body is covered with ash combined with rain. 😂 and the whole company is covered with ash. It feels like we are walking while snowing because the ash didn't stop for hours even to the next day. 😂
@@user-ul6dp7fr7y January 2022 Hunga Tonga eruption is it's own separate type, I think. Taal's large eruption would be far more typical - Sub-Plinian/Plinian (VEI 2 - VEI 5).
I’ve never seen close up views of an eruption like we can see happen in Taal crater, is that pulsed eruption pattern typical, and is that indicative of some type of volcanic process going on?
Kilauea and Mauna Loa have been way too chill for too long so they have me worried. My family and I live in Puna on the east side of Big island. I've spent all 42 years of my life here and have never seen it so calm. I think there will be some serious earthquake's and eruptions soon.
those uplifts might cause the TVI to collapse rather than forming a crater- kinda nervous right now cause I'm from laurel- its been almost a year since taal volcano has been very active, Really worried cause that's "almost" the same scenario as Pinatubo's eruption, 1 year of activity and then there goes the bang so I might wanna evacuate right now since its 50/50 chance of good scenario and worst case scenario
Notice lots of, "This volcano is acting wierd." I'm all for weird stuff but don't like it when geological processes are being weird...makes me particularly concerned as the the why lol
People have been living there for a long time, even when towns got destroyed or buried few centuries ago, people still comeback to live there. People wouldn't easily leave the place they have attachment to, it's just how humans are.
my grandma told me a long time ago that the reason why taal volcanos crater looks so weird because due to an eruption a really long time ago the eruption was strong enough that it destroyed the cone. although i dont know if its true im still sticking to that reason since its the most closest thing that what happened (sry for bad grammar)
The temperature of Mount Ruapehu's crater lake here in NZ has increased by 2 degrees and there is increased earthquake activity. The alert level there has gone up from 1 to 2. I dunno. It seems like geothermic/seismic activity triggers off one event after another around the world. Or is this a myth?
no wonder why there was a quick heavy (potentially an acid) rain this afternoon (im from north caloocan) and im glad i didnt go outside during the showers but im worried about the kittens i fed after the rain stopped
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 if they were out in the rain you might want wash them. They will lick the rain of when grooming otherwise. I'm glad they're ok. How close are you to Taal?
@@ariadneschild8460 they are under a week old but gladly the mother came back and found them, shes gonna groom for them bg: the mother got attacked by my neighbor's dog bc it happened to escape from the leash and then she hid until she recovered, 1 kit was missing and 1 passed from heat stroke, only 2 survived. it was very tragic but i hope they all get through their life one day also idk how close but i can see a mountain range from my home, and when taal erupted its ashfall was supposed to land here, classes nd duties were suspended
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 I'm glad she's back, sorry about the neighbours dog, is the mother cat living wild? I only mentioned washing bc you speculated about acid rain and it would be bad if the cats got it in their mouths. I'm sorry about the other two kittens Arlynne.
This will never end, need to lower lake level some I believe, to stop the intrusion of water. Maybe a channel like what was done at mt st Helens, that prevented flooding
Based on that image of Google map, can the entire lake surrounding the island be part of an even bigger crater for Taal, that would put it as a Supervolcano?
You could be describing the explosive attack of Russia on Ukraine which is quite capable of becoming a catastrophic eruption in global politics. The parallels are uncanny.

3:02 QUITE the impressive video; I am glad you are warning people because I do not think they grasp how quick and violent these things can be.

Which if there is enough magma, might produce either a plinian or subplinian eruption
Most likely not. it has to be at a right location, and right situation. it's most likely gonna be phreatic, or phreatomagmatic. as from its history.

it erupted again again???
I told you!
That shape of volcano looks weird and dangerous
Yup. That's why Taal is one of the most studied yet dangerous volcanoes in the Philippines.
why do people persistantly want to live on volcanoes? can they move even closer, like on the edge of the caldera, that a good spot? what the hell?
Sadly it's simply cheaper and it's better for agriculture.
@@caiolucas8257 there's better ways to get fertile soil than volcanic ash from the volcano itself.
Generations of poor farmers using what's available, volcanic soil is rich and doesn't need a lot of added fertilizers.
People have been living there for a long time, even when towns got destroyed or buried few centuries ago, people still comeback to live there. People wouldn't easily leave the place they have attachment to, it's just how humans are.
my grandma told me a long time ago that the reason why taal volcanos crater looks so weird because due to an eruption a really long time ago the eruption was strong enough that it destroyed the cone. although i dont know if its true im still sticking to that reason since its the most closest thing that what happened (sry for bad grammar)
If the volcano did erupt, I would think the volcanic vent would probably be near the shore of the island, like what happened in the 2020 eruption
Words that cause me some concern: *_"UNEXPECTED ERUPTION."_* Living on the other side of _the ring of fire_ I really hope this is not a trend.
The temperature of Mount Ruapehu's crater lake here in NZ has increased by 2 degrees and there is increased earthquake activity. The alert level there has gone up from 1 to 2.
I dunno. It seems like geothermic/seismic activity triggers off one event after another around the world. Or is this a myth?
Lets hope it not erupts
no wonder why there was a quick heavy (potentially an acid) rain this afternoon (im from north caloocan) and im glad i didnt go outside during the showers but im worried about the kittens i fed after the rain stopped
Were they outside in the rain? That's sad, I hope they're ok.
@@ariadneschild8460 i heard the crying this morning and im gonna feed them after i have lunch
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 if they were out in the rain you might want wash them. They will lick the rain of when grooming otherwise. I'm glad they're ok. How close are you to Taal?
@@ariadneschild8460 they are under a week old but gladly the mother came back and found them, shes gonna groom for them
bg: the mother got attacked by my neighbor's dog bc it happened to escape from the leash and then she hid until she recovered, 1 kit was missing and 1 passed from heat stroke, only 2 survived. it was very tragic but i hope they all get through their life one day
also idk how close but i can see a mountain range from my home, and when taal erupted its ashfall was supposed to land here, classes nd duties were suspended
@@arlynnecumberbatch1056 I'm glad she's back, sorry about the neighbours dog, is the mother cat living wild? I only mentioned washing bc you speculated about acid rain and it would be bad if the cats got it in their mouths. I'm sorry about the other two kittens Arlynne.
This will never end, need to lower lake level some I believe, to stop the intrusion of water. Maybe a channel like what was done at mt st Helens, that prevented flooding
If the lake is gone it would produce a magmatic eruption
Based on that image of Google map, can the entire lake surrounding the island be part of an even bigger crater for Taal, that would put it as a Supervolcano?
It’s not a Supervolcano
Yes.. It is the smallest supervolcano in the world.
@@berylmaeadolfo45 no it's not, it never had a VEI 8 eruption
The volcano eroption is normal to us filipino since volcanos are active like all volcanos
First 🥇 always updated
5 firsts. That's a first 😂
Vulcan Point look so tiny now
You could be describing the explosive attack of Russia on Ukraine which is quite capable of becoming a catastrophic eruption in global politics. The parallels are uncanny.
The whole dang Lake is a Caldera.🌋
MY GOD AT LEAST WE LEAVE BEFORE THE TAAL VOLCANO EXPLODED
