Kanlaon Volcano eruption – Negros Island, Philippines 🌋😍 Eruptive activity at Kanlaon highlights ongoing unrest at one of the Philippines’ most active stratovolcanoes. Explosive bursts can generate ash plumes, volcanic gases, and localized ashfall, reflecting magma movement and pressure changes beneath the summit. #Kanlaon #Geology #GeologyPage #Volcanology #Philippines | Geology Page

VOLCANO FORMATION (Volcanology) INTRODUCTION Volcanology is the scientific study of volcanoes, lava, magma, and related geological phenomena. A volcano is an opening in the Earth’s crust through which molten rock (magma), gases, and ash escape from beneath the surface. FORMATION OF VOLCANOES 1. HEAT AND PRESSURE IN THE MANTLE: Deep within the Earth, high temperatures and pressures cause rocks to melt, forming magma in the mantle. 2. MAGMA MOVEMENT: Because magma is less dense than the surroundin
