Volcano In Philippines Erupts Sending Plumes Of Ash 3000 Metres High
The Kanlaon volcano in central Philippines erupted on Monday, spewing a column of ash and gas into the sky, the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology said.
菲律賓中部的康拉昂火山在星期一噴發,噴出一柱灰燼和氣體進入天空,菲律賓火山地震研究所表示。
An explosive eruption occurred at the summit vent of the Kanlaon Volcano on Monday afternoon, the institute said in an alert-level bulletin.
該研究所的警報級別公告稱,週一下午康拉昂火山的山頂通風口發生了爆炸性噴發。
"The eruption produced a voluminous plume that rapidly rose to 3,000 meters above the vent and drifted west-southwest," it read.
公告中提到,「噴發產生了一個大量的雲柱,迅速升至通風口上方3000米並向西南漂流。」
The bulletin added that the activity means a "magmatic eruption has begun that may progress to further explosive eruptions."
公告還補充說,這種活動意味着「岩漿噴發已開始,並可能進展爲更進一步的爆炸性噴發。」
The institute raised the alert level to three on a scale of five.
該研究所將警報級別提高至五級中的三級。
It also advised villagers within a 6-km radius of the volcano's summit to evacuate, saying that the public "must be prepared for additional evacuation if activity warrants."
它還建議火山山頂周圍6公里範圍內的村民撤離,並表示公衆「必須爲如果活動需要而進行額外撤離做好準備。」
The Kanlaon Volcano, which straddles the provinces of Negros Oriental and Negros Occidental on the island of Negros, is one of the country's most active volcanoes, which erupted in June
