    EXPLORING

    VOLCANOES
    In this presentation, you will
    learn about volcanoes found in
    the Philippines.
    Mount Hibok-Hibok - Youngest Volcano in
    the Philippines
    Location: Camiguin Island
    Status: Active
    The youngest volcano, and the only historically active
    one, is Hibok-Hibok (also known as Catarman). It lies at
    the NW end of the island, about 6 km NW of Mt.
    Mambajao. Major eruptions during 1871-75 and 1948-
    53 formed flank lava domes and produced pyroclastic
    flows that devastated villages at the coast.
    Iraya Volcano - Oldest Volcano in the
    Philippines
    Location: Central Batan
    Status: Active
    Mahatao volcano is the oldest and is located in central
    Batan. It last erupted in the Late Miocene. Matarem
    volcano in the south of the island erupted in the
    Pliocene to Early Pleistocene. Iraya volcano is located in
    the north of the island and has been active since Late
    Pleistocene.
    Taal Volcano - Smallest Volcano in the
    Philippines
    Location: Province of Batangas
    Status: Active
    On the island of Luzon in the Philippines, about 35
    miles south of the capital city Manila, is a truly unique
    volcano. Taal Volcano is the smallest active volcano in
    the world, with an elevation of 1,020 feet at its
    highest point (311 meters).
    Apo Volcano - Largest Volcano in the
    Philippines
    Location: Central Mindanao
    Status: Dormant
    Apo volcano is the highest peak in the Philippines, but
    its geologic history is poorly known. Apo, which means
    master, or grandfather, rises to 2938 m SW of the
    coastal city of Davao and has a flat-topped summit
    with three peaks.
    Mayon Volcano - Most Active Volcano in
    the Philippines
    Location: Albay, Bicol
    Status: Active
    Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines,
    erupting over 52 times in the past 500 years.
    Historical observations accounted its first eruption in
    1616. The first eruption for which an extended account
    exists was the six-day event of July 20, 1766.
