SIGNS OF IMPENDING VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS AND INTERPRETING

VOLCANO HAZARD MAPS
Name: _______________________________________ Section: _________________
Most Essential Learning Competencies:

Recognize signs of an impending volcanic eruption (DRR11/12-Ih-i-24)
Interpret different volcano hazard maps (DRR11/12-Ih-i-25)
Learning Objectives:
The learners shall be able to:
1. Identify the common signs of an impending volcanic eruption;
2. Demonstrate how to use the different volcano hazard maps for evacuation
planning; and
3. Recognize the significance of identifying the commons signs of an impending
volcanic eruption and interpreting different volcano hazard maps.
Time Allotment: 4 hours
Key Concepts:
Volcanic eruption
• A volcano is a vent, or mountain from which magma (molten or hot rocks with
gaseous materials) are ejected onto the earth’s surface.
• Unlike other mountains, which are pushed up from below, volcanoes are built by
surface accumulation of their eruptive products - layers of lava, fragmented rock
materials, and ashes.
• When temperature and pressure from gases within the molten rock become too
great, an eruption occurs. Volcanic eruption is the process wherein these volcanic
materials are ejected from a volcano.
Warning signs of impending volcanic

eruption
• Most volcanoes provide various types of

warnings before eruptions begin. Some
volcanoes, especially those that have
not erupted for a long time (hundreds of
years) might display obvious precursors
of reactivation months to weeks before a
major eruption (ex. Pinatubo in 1991).

pinatubo-eruption-in-the-philippines

• Some volcanoes might explode
without warning if the type of
eruption is what is known as
phreatic. Also known as steam-blast
eruptions, these events could occur
with little or no warning as
superheated water flashes to steam
similar to what happened at Mayon
volcano in 2013.

• It is important to be able to observe

warning signs of volcanic unrest so
that people can evacuate in time, to
minimize injuries and casualties. It is
therefore important to be able to
monitor a volcano’s activity, and this
is normally done with the aid of
different tools or instruments to
monitor the different parameters.

monitoring-techniques-which-are-employed-by-the-USGS-
Volcano-Hazards-Program_fig3_316168114
• The assessment of a volcano’s status (if it is quiet or in normal state, in state of unrest,
expected to erupt, erupting) is based on the different parameters that can be
observed. Volcanologists often use a combination of as many data available from the
different parameters used for evaluation. For example, the number of earthquakes as
recorded by the seismograph may increase from background levels of 0-5 per week
and may escalate into 100s in a day.
• This is further confirmed and supported by increasing number of earthquakes felt by

the local people. In addition, other parameters such as gas measurements and water
acidity may also show signs of increasing trend.
• Gases - rise through vents called fumaroles (from the Latin for “smoke”) and other
cracks. Sometimes the concentrations are high enough to create acid rain that kills
vegetation. That’s one very visible sign of activity, but scientists have several ways to
measure the rate of emissions more precisely. Scientists mount/ install infrared and
correlation spectrometers from airplanes, for example, and fly through a plume of
gas. These instruments read energy signatures—thermal output or electromagnetic
frequencies—to identify and quantify the gases.

Volcanoes and
earthquakes go hand

is to determine which
patterns of seismic

eruption. When
magma makes its way
up to the surface it
breaks the rocks along
the way, and in so
doing, earthquakes
are generated.

Precursors of an Impending Volcanic Eruption
The following are commonly observed signs that a volcano is about to erupt. These
precursors may vary from volcano to volcano:
• Increase in the frequency of volcanic quakes with rumbling sounds; occurrence of

volcanic tremors;
• Increased steaming activity; change in color of steam emission from white to gray
due to entrained ash;
• Crater glow due to presence of magma at or near the crater;
• Ground swells (or inflation), ground tilt and ground fissuring due to magma
intrusion;
• Localized landslides, rock falls and landslides from the summit area not
attributable to heavy rains;
• Noticeable increase in the extent of drying up of vegetation around the volcano's
upper slopes. Increase in the temperature of hot springs, wells (e.g. Bulusan and
Canlaon) and craterlake (e.g. Taal) near the volcano;
• Noticeable variation in the chemical content of springs, crater lakes within the
vicinity of the volcano; and
• Drying up of springs/wells around the volcano
• Development of new thermal areas and/or reactivation of old ones; appearance of
solfataras.
• In the Philippines, we use a system of Volcano Alert Signals to define the current
status of each volcano. The alert levels range from 0 to 5. The alert levels are used
to guide any appropriate response from the Local Government Units (LGUs).

What are volcano hazard maps?
• Hazard maps illustrate potential for ground-based volcanic impacts—lava flows,

pyroclastic flows, ash fall, volcanic gases, and more far-reaching hazards (such as
lahars) in valleys that drain the volcano. To help understand the areas that may
be affected by specific volcanic eruption phenomena, hazard maps are used. These
maps show areas that can be affected and areas that are safe. Hazard maps are
generated for various uses and are most useful in determining risks of living in
identified potentially hazardous areas. Hazard maps can also help people to
become aware of specific dangers (lava flow, pyroclastic flows, ash fall, lahars, etc.)
they might face in the event that a volcano reactivates.

Sample Interpretation of Figure 4 – Lahar Hazard Map (See page 7):
• Hazard zonation is subject to change in
the event of change(s) in the
configuration of the crater rim. Hazard
zone limits are approximated based on
data from historical medium-scale
eruptions and may be exceeded during
larger-scale Plinian eruption.
• Note: Areas around Mayon Volcano
that could include those extending
beyond the coverage of this map may
experience tephra fall (ashfall) sourced
either from an eruption column or from
ash clouds associated with pyroclastic
flows. Tephra fall deposition depends
on prevailing wind direction and Figure 5. Legend from the 2018 Mayon Volcano Lahar
