The state seismologist defined volcanic earthquakes as those that come from an active volcano and are distinguished by their 鈥渕ode of arrivals, periods, amplitudes, etc.鈥�

Volcanic tremors, on the other hand, are 鈥渃ontinuous seismic signals with regular or irregular sine wave appearance and low frequencies.鈥�

In its latest update, Phivolcs reported that the volcano emitted 3,823 metric tons (MT) of sulfur dioxide, which reached 1,500 meters high on Tuesday.

An 鈥渦pwelling of hot volcanic fluids in the Main Crater Lake鈥� was also observed on Taal Volcano Island, locally known as 鈥淧ulo,鈥� which sits in the middle of Taal Lake.

Taal Volcano is still under alert level 1 (low level of volcanic unrest), Phivolcs said.

The agency reminded the public that Taal Volcano remained in an 鈥渁bnormal condition鈥� and 鈥渟hould not be interpreted to have ceased unrest nor ceased the threat of eruptive activity.鈥�.

Phivolcs reminded that entry into Taal Volcano Island, especially the Main Crater and Daang Kastila fissures, and boating and flying any aircraft close to the volcano remained prohibited.
